About the Simply By Bensons Divan Base On Castors
Last checked
Buyers considering the Simply By Bensons Divan Base On Castors are looking at a straightforward divan platform rather than a show-frame bedstead: the key construction cue in the name is the castor base, which prioritises easy movement and a tucked-away footprint over the planted feel of fixed legs or a full wooden frame. That matters. Castors are a conservative, convenience-led choice in the divan market; compared with slatted bedsteads, they remove questions about slat spacing and centre-rail support, but they also put more of the stability burden on the small rolling feet. Owners who mention assembly tend to describe it as simple, and one buyer found a separate headboard lined up without fuss, so the base behaves like a standard divan in practical setup terms. Storage is more nuanced: drawer users like the everyday access, while an ottoman buyer specifically chose the lift-up version because drawers needed side clearance their room did not have. That is the honest trade-off with divans: drawers are quick if the bedroom allows opening space; ottoman storage is less casual but can use the full footprint. The same long account also noted that the two halves needed adjustment before sitting flush, which suggests tolerances can require a little DIY patience rather than purely bolt-together certainty.
The clearest fit is a bedroom where flexibility matters: renters, frequent room re-arrangers, or anyone wanting a base that can be pulled out for cleaning may appreciate why buyers repeatedly liked the hidden castors and easy movement. Among satisfied owners, praise clusters around simple setup, a solid first impression, compatible headboard fitting and useful storage, with the ottoman version earning particular approval where drawer clearance would have wasted the feature. The downside is not minor. A recurring complaint is that the castors do not lock, and on wooden flooring the base can shift too readily; a couple of low-rating buyers go further, describing the frame as flimsy, with one substantive account alleging cracking within days under light use. That customer evidence cuts against the more positive “well made and solid” impressions, so households with polished floors, lively children, or heavier couple use are better served by a fixed-leg divan, a glide-foot base, or a sturdier slatted bedstead with a stated weight rating. The verdict is fairly clear: it suits buyers prioritising low visual bulk, moveability and storage options, while stability-sensitive rooms and anyone wanting a firmly planted frame belong in fixed-foot divans or the next price tier of reinforced bedsteads instead.

Your staff and delivery personnel were all excellent. Thank you very much

Yes base great cant say the same.e for the mattress
Wow so much space and easy to access. Very pleased with the base.
Wonderful and comfy. Loads of storage space is brilliant. Efficient delivery
Wife's back pain is subsided and she sleeps more comfortably and snores less
When you need more space to put things in you have the two drawers which normally us wasted in dases on the beds
When I saw it in the showroom wanted one. I am delighted with the storage area as my bedroom is on the small side and I have lots to store. I've managed to fit 4 suitcases full of clothing and bedding inside which cleared up a lot of clutter in my bedroom. I am extremely delighted with my purchase.
What can I say about this superb divan on castors, so easy to move and fit together. The drawers are excellent, in the most accessible places and run smoothly.
What an amazing bed! Really well made - Im so pleased with it that I intend to purchase a second one for my son. The delivery guys were also fantastic. I can't thank this company enough. At last…. someone understands the meaning of good customer service!
What a lovely comfortable mattress. No need to turn and easy to turn when you need to. Definitely worth the money for a great quality mattress. Will definitely buy again
Went together easily and provides a good sturdy base. So much more space than drawers.
Well, what can I say about a bed base It's a base to support the mattress I bought and, as such, it seems to be doing a pretty good job. No complaints at all. I didn't buy a base with drawers so I can't pass comment on them.
