The Slumberland Divan Base On Legs from Bensons for Beds is a versatile and attractive mid-range bed frame at a fairly reasonable price point which has been designed to fit a variety of room designs. With multiple configurations, colours, and sizes available, this divan base offers something for every consumer regardless of how your room looks. In this review, I cover the key aspects that buyers are interested in, including design, comfort, storage, durability, and overall value.
Design and Aesthetics
Available in 12 attractive colours, the Slumberland Divan Base On Legs can easily complement any bedroom décor while the silver-tone conical legs add a touch of sophistication and provide additional height both of which make the base both functional and stylish. The divan base also comes in four different sizes, catering to a range of space requirements and preferences. I personally tried the double which is available in a few more configurations than the smaller single, however, experience should imitate across the entire range to a reasonable degree.
Comfort
Owners who mention comfort are positive about it. One wrote "Nice firm base, that's giving us the full benefit of our new mattress compared to our old divan base." Owners are split on its height: one wrote "Quite high, so easy to get in and out of", while another found it "quite tall in terms of mattress height". The elevated design also allows for ease of access under the bed for cleaning purposes while the storage options we detail below all provide ample room for bedding and any other things that may make up your room.
Storage
The 2-drawer storage option is the one I opted for as it provided more than enough room and was much more price competitive for my needs. That said, there are a few other configurations depending on availability (right now only 2 drawers are available although previously there were 4 drawer options also). Regardless of the option chosen, it represents a practical addition to the Slumberland Divan Base On Legs with drawers that are spacious enough to store various items, keeping your bedroom neat and organised.
Durability and Quality
Most owners who comment on the build call it sturdy. One called it a "Very strong well made divan base", and another liked the looks: "Love the silver legs and the divan drawers are roomy." A minority had the opposite experience: one found it "poorly finished around the draws" and wrote that "two of the legs nearly fell off" after moving it about 6 inches. Another reported a "very flimsy connection between the 2 base sections" with a drawer runner that arrived unattached, and a third complained of "Thin cardboard like material on bases". However, Bensons for Beds offers an 8-year replacement or replacement part guarantee, which provides some reassurance regarding the product's durability in the event of any issues that do happen to crop up.
Value for Money
Considering its stylish design, range of configurations, and added storage features, the Slumberland Divan Base On Legs offers good value for its price. However, the potential quality issues should be taken into account when determining if this product is the right fit for your needs. That said, we don't see too many options at this price point come around too frequently and surprisingly this price point sees many no-name unknown brand divans often vying for position. Of the options, the Slumberland quality still tends to win-out against others.
