About the Staples and Co Divan Base On Castors
Last checked
Anyone considering this Staples base is looking at a divan rather than a decorative slatted bedstead, so the build promise is simple: a boxed platform, castors underneath, and storage depending on the version ordered. This is a practical, low-drama frame. A divan-on-castors spec is conservative for the bed-frame category; compared with wooden or metal bedsteads, it gives up visible frame styling and sprung-slat flex in exchange for a flatter support surface and easier movement for cleaning or repositioning. The castors are the meaningful construction detail here, because they make a larger base less awkward to shift than a static drawer divan, although they also put more importance on floor type and wheel stability than a glider-foot model. Storage is the other repeated theme in real-world accounts: happier buyers describe smooth drawers, flush fronts without protruding handles, and useful space for bedding and clothes. One detailed low-scoring account, however, describes the storage floor flexing under modest pressure, which is a clear warning against treating the compartment like a heavy-duty luggage store. That is an honest divan limitation rather than an ottoman-level storage build.
People who want a tidy, upholstered-looking base with easier mobility appear to be the strongest match, especially where under-bed access and drawer storage matter more than a showpiece frame. Multiple accounts describe the base as smart in the room, easy to move on castors, and paired successfully with a matching headboard, while one recent account found the height particularly helpful for an older sleeper getting in and out of bed. The height will not suit every room. Another buyer found it higher than expected, so this is one to think about if an existing mattress is already deep or bedside tables sit low. Assembly feedback is mixed rather than uniformly reassuring: some found it straightforward, including solo assembly, while a detailed complaint about a gas-lift storage version describes awkward piston fitting, unclear alignment instructions and a weaker storage floor than expected. Low-scoring feedback also raises fulfilment and aftercare frustrations, including damage, order problems and poor post-sale handling, so the product experience is not judged only on the base itself. Suited to bedrooms needing a smart divan with mobile castors, neat drawers and everyday bedding storage. Less good for heavy-storage users or anyone wanting a reinforced lift-up compartment, who would do better with a higher-spec ottoman divan tier.

My 85 year old father is overjoyed with his new mattress and base combo. We had a wonderful pair of delivery guys and construction of the base was really easy. Dad's getting a great night sleep now and the height was perfect to get in and out of bed for him.
Comfortable so far. Higher from floor than expected.
Great bed with great storage with headboard to match. Looks great in my room.
Easy to assemble but you do need 2 people. Beautiful velour finish on the outer.
Colour is stunning and very stable base with good size draws on each side
Whilst you can get an idea of what it looks like when in the shop, actually having it in situ makes our room look great. Love the chocolate colour and love the working drawers

Lovely base with four large drawers for ample storage
We love our bed! So comfortable and worth the investment
Great base, we had legs put on the divan just to make it a bit higher for my husband. The two draws are perfect for storing bedding. They glide in and out easily. Love the colour and material. No creaking or anything. Very pleased with it. The delivery men assembled it and removed all packaging. Really pleased with the bed so far.
Makes the bed easy to move and the most comfortable bed i have ever slept in.
Excellent base and so stable, with no creaking. Very pleased with our purchase.
Great product and helps form comfortable sleep. There is nothing I don't like about any part of the structure that forms my bed.
Very good quality and well made bed frame. Easy to fit together and move around.
Very sturdy. Drawers very strong. Well made. Base great workmanship. Really like the colour.
Fantastic bedbase really compliments the bed and decor in the bedroom , would definitely recommend to friends and family
