How to Install New Legs on Your Queen Bed Frame

Is your queen bed frame feeling a bit wobbly? Or maybe you’re just ready for a change of style? Whatever the reason, installing new legs on your bed frame is a relatively easy project that can make a big difference in the look and feel of your bedroom.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Materials you’ll need:

New bed legs

Screwdriver or drill

Level

Measuring tape

Instructions:

1. Remove the old legs. This is usually done by unscrewing the bolts that attach the legs to the frame. If the bolts are rusted or difficult to remove, you can use a penetrating oil to loosen them up.

2. Measure and mark the location of the new legs. Use a level to make sure that the legs are evenly spaced and perpendicular to the floor. Once you have the marks, use a measuring tape to verify that the legs are the same distance from the headboard and footboard.

3. Drill pilot holes. This will make it easier to screw in the new legs. Use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screws you will be using.

4. Screw in the new legs. Use a screwdriver or drill to screw the new legs into the pilot holes. Be sure to tighten the screws securely, but don’t overtighten them or you could strip the threads.

5. Check for level. Once the legs are installed, use a level to make sure that the bed frame is level. If it’s not, you can adjust the legs by loosening or tightening the screws.

Tips:

If you’re not sure what size legs to buy, measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the bed frame. This will give you the height of the new legs.

If you want to add extra support to your bed frame, you can use bed slats or a box spring.

If you’re having trouble installing the new legs, you can always consult a professional.

By following these steps, you can easily install new legs on your queen bed frame and give your bedroom a fresh new look.
