A modular headboard for a bedstead includes an upper headboard section and a lower headboard section selectively coupled together for convenient storage and transportation. The upper headboard section includes laterally-spaced, vertically-extending upper post sections and a headboard panel extending therebetween. The lower headboard section includes corresponding lower post sections, with cross rails extending between the lower post sections. A laterally-extending slat overlaps adjacent edges of the upper and lower headboard sections to facilitate alignment of the upper and lower headboard sections, and is secured to the headboard sections to form a stable headboard.

What is claimed is: 1. A modular headboard, comprising: an upper headboard section, including first and second laterally-spaced, vertically-extending upper post sections and a headboard panel extending therebetween and having an outer side surface with a lower edge, said first and second upper post
What is claimed is: 1. A modular headboard, comprising: an upper headboard section, including first and second laterally-spaced, vertically-extending upper post sections and a headboard panel extending therebetween and having an outer side surface with a lower edge, said first and second upper post sections having upper and lower ends; and a lower headboard section, including first and second laterally-spaced, vertically-extending lower post sections and at least one cross member extending therebetween, said cross member having an outer side surface with an upper edge disposed adjacent said lower edge of said headboard panel, said first and second lower post sections having upper and lower ends; said upper and lower headboard sections removably interconnected by a connection system comprising a laterally-extending slat having an outer side surface, said outer side surface of said slat contacting said outer side surface of said headboard panel and overlapping said lower edge of said outer side surface of said headboard panel, said outer side surface of said slat contacting said outer side surface of said cross member and overlapping said upper edge of said outer side surface of said cross member. 2. The modular headboard of claim 1, wherein said connection system further comprises: first and second brace plates respectively fastened between said upper ends of said lower post sections and said lower ends of said upper post sections. 3. The modular headboard of claim 1, further comprising: an aperture formed in each said lower end of said upper post sections; an aperture formed in each said upper end of said lower post sections, said apertures in said lower post sections aligned with said apertures in said upper post sections; and a dowel pin extending between each of said upper and lower post sections and disposed in said respectively aligned apertures. 4. The modular headboard of claim 1, wherein said at least one cross member comprises at least two cross members, including an upper cross member and a lower cross member, the modular headboard further comprising: a vertically-extending center post coupled to said upper and lower cross members and to said laterally-extending slat, said center post having an upper end including a flange extending upwardly therefrom and overlying said slat. 5. The modular headboard of claim 1, wherein said slat is adhesively secured to said lower edge of said upper headboard section, and secured to said upper edge of said at least one cross member by fasteners. 6. A bedstead, comprising: a modular headboard, said modular headboard comprising: an upper headboard section, including first and second laterally-spaced, vertically-extending upper post sections and a headboard panel extending therebetween and having an outer side surface with a lower edge, said first and second upper post sections having upper and lower ends; and a lower headboard section, including first and second laterally-spaced, vertically-extending lower post sections and at least one cross member extending therebetween, said cross member having an outer side surface with an upper edge disposed adjacent said lower edge of said headboard panel, said first and second lower post sections having upper and lower ends; said upper and lower headboard sections removably interconnected by a connection system comprising a laterally-extending slat having an outer side surface, said outer side surface of said slat contacting said outer side surface of said headboard panel and overlapping said lower edge of said outer side surface of said headboard panel, said outer side surface of said slat contacting said outer side surface of said cross member and overlapping said upper edge of said outer side surface of said cross member; a footboard spaced from said modular headboard; and first and second side rails having first ends coupled to said lower post sections, respectively, and second ends coupled to said footboard. 7. A method of assembling a modular headboard including upper and lower headboard sections, the method comprising: positioning the upper headboard section on top of the lower headboard section; aligning a lapped slat that extends from one of a lower edge of the upper headboard section, or an upper edge of the lower headboard section, to overlie the other of the upper and lower headboard sections such that an outer side surface of the slat contacts and overlaps the lower edge of an outer side surface of the upper headboard section and the upper edge of an outer side surface of the lower headboard section; and securing the lapped slat to the other of the upper and lower headboard sections. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the lapped slat extends from the lower edge of the upper headboard section and wherein securing the lapped slat includes securing the lapped slat to the upper edge of the lower headboard section. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the lapped slat extends from the upper edge of the lower headboard section and wherein securing the lapped slat includes securing the lapped slat to the lower edge of the upper headboard section. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the upper and lower headboard sections include corresponding apertures formed in respective confronting surfaces, the method further comprising: installing dowel pins in the apertures formed in one of the upper and lower headboard sections; aligning the apertures on the other of the upper and lower headboard sections with the dowel pins; and engaging the apertures on the other of the upper and lower headboard sections with the dowel pins. 11. The method of claim 7, further comprising: positioning a bracket to overlie adjacent edges of the upper and lower headboard sections; and securing the bracket to respective portions of the upper and lower headboard sections. 12. The method of claim 7, further comprising: securing the lower headboard section to the upper headboard section by fastening a center post of the lower headboard section to the slat.
