How to Assemble Divan Beds

1. How to Assemble Divan Beds Divan Beds are one of the space-saving and practical options best fit for small spaces.

Before Assembling Divan Beds If done right, a Divan bed can be assembled within five minutes. The preparation for any kind of construction or assembly is just as important a step as actually doing it. Here are important reminders to keep in mind before you begin: Check the Contents When we ship the Divan right over to your home, the packaging is more than just a chore to get rid of—it contains the protected Divan bed itself. Before attempting to assemble the Divan, make sure you have a flat-head screwdriver and the parts needed to connect the headboard to the base.

2. Ready the Room In assembling the Divan, it is best to ensure that all parts are ready. When this is done, it is time for you to ensure the place where the bed will grace the room is ready. Try to clean up the bed’s area, and remove unnecessary items (or important items) that can be stuck within or below the bed once it is assembled. Get a rug underneath for easier clean-up and worry less about the mess. While preparing for assembly, make sure you begin as close to the desired location of the bed as possible, to avoid any wasted effort in moving an already assembled Divan.

4. Find a Lifting Mate Some of the parts are not the same as those chairs you stacked and lifted after Sunday church. A bed has heavy parts that are not meant for one person to carry as you are liable to injure yourself. It is best not to do this on your own and find somebody who can split the load with you, but if you do not have a choice, lift with your legs, not your back! Assemble Divan Beds on a Flat Surface Assembling on a hill is not ideal. Much like the Orthopaedic Mattress, a bed should be dependable and good for your spine and posture. The best way to do this is to ensure your Divan bed is assembled symmetrically, by assembling it on a flat symmetrical surface. Keep Children Safe Some of the parts may be choking hazards or simply too dangerous for children to be using. Ensure that only adults are present when the work is being done.

5. Check for Defects Do not assemble this bed if any of the parts are missing or defective. This also goes for the tools you will be using, do not use any tool that is not maintained properly or is visibly a hazard to use. Once you have finished assembling, double-check if there are no missing parts and if the Divan is sturdy enough for weight to avoid accidents or injury.

6. Flip the Bases to add the feet When the bases are facing the right side parallel to each other, flip them over. There should be up to eight screw holes, four on each side of each base to add the feet. SOURCE: https://thebedvillageyorkshire.co.uk/how-to-assemble-divan-beds/

7. Insert Gliders and U-Clips On each of the eight screw holes, securely insert one glider per hole. There should be eight gliders in your parts. Lightly tap on each glider without hammering it all the way. Once this is done for all eight, get the two U-Clips and apply them on the heads of two gliders parallel to each other. Once the U-Clips are in place, hammer the glider all the way. Use a rubber mallet or a non-marring hammer to secure the glider without damaging the Divan base. Flip the Divan bed and ensure it does not wobble when pressure is applied to it. Affix the Headboard of the Divan Beds When the base is secure, take the two headboard bolts and screw in the headboard at the head of the base. You may need to find the holes behind the fabric and pierce it with your screwdriver first. When it is stable, secure your Divan in the desired location. Make sure to sanitise the bed before applying the finishing touches. Here are also 11 tips on how to take care of your Divan Bed.
