The Staples & Co Premium Divan Base is the perfect finishing touch to any bedroom. This high-quality and stylish base is handcrafted with a strong, sturdy timber frame sourced from responsibly managed forests. It is upholstered in a choice of premium fabrics in a range of textures and styles, and is available in a variety of colours to suit any decor whether it be modern or traditional.
The base can be purchased with either drawers or an Ottoman base for extra storage giving you plenty of different ways to hide away bedding or other accessories that would otherwise clutter your bedroom. The product has a finishing touch in the form of luxury glides in a silver finish to keep it firmly in place. The Staples & Co Premium Divan Base is proudly handcrafted in a British Kite Mark accredited factory and comes with a 10 year guarantee that will inspire huge consumer confidence as it far outweighs the competition with their 1 year offerings. Finally, when delivered it is also packaged in new green polythene made from a mixture of natural and recycled renewable sources, making it a more sustainable choice for your home.
When it comes to consumer feedback, the reviews are mostly happy ones. Owners describe the base as sturdy and well made, "Quality made base!" as one put it, and several bought it to go with the headboard: "Really nice base that matches the headboard perfectly." The storage gets used. One owner wrote: "The drawers run smoothly which is important and seem well made". Another, with the ottoman, wrote: "It has so much storage space underneath". Fabric and colour come up often too, usually from owners pleased with the one they picked.
When it comes to what they didn't like, height is the one owners disagree on. Some call it "a great height", while one wrote that "the bed with mattress is very high and not easy to get into". Assembly is easy for most, though not for everyone. One owner was "not happy with how the two part base joins together", and another reported "Very poor alignment of the blue dots" that show where the headboard bolts go. A few bases turned up damaged or with fabric that did not match between the two halves. "Base arrived today all scuffed at the end", one owner wrote. The other grumble is price, where an owner felt the "drawers could be sturdier for the price paid".
