Hi!

Just purchased an antique headboard and footboard, but the rails were not included in the sale. I'm having trouble finding rails to make the full size bed function. The footboard and headboard have crescent shapes for a cylinder type rode to stick down into it for the rails to attach. Anyone know anything about this? I'm located in the San Francisco area.

Thanks!

Hello. The easiest and sturdiest solution is using a headboard/ footboard metal frame which will turn your hb/fb into decoration only. The weight of the bed will be on the adjustable ht. feet of the frame. Glideaway is one manufacturer, so is Knickerbocker.
The only way to use your current connections is a custom connection.
