We purchased a king size divan base and attachable headboard in store and, in summary, the store experience, the product, and the delivery process and all of the related pre delivery information have been excellent ... with just one niggle resulting in a less than 5 star review. This relates to the matching attachable headboard which also looks great and is excellent quality like the divan Ottoman base. That said, despite the delivery guys, who assembled everything, chocking the headboard as far from base as they could, the headboard still sits over the top of the base by about an inch. This results in the king sized mattress (that should fit perfectly) being pushed an inch down the base and hence results in the mattress overhanging the bottom of the divan base by just over an inch. It's not end of the world stuff but seems a pretty basic design flaw and, in our mind, results in the made up bed looking just that bit odd due to this small overhang.

Just got my TheraPur Shallow Divan Bed Base and it's a dream. The velvet fabric adds a touch of luxury and the option to pick leg style meant I could integrate it into my pre-existing room aesthetics. However, I was less impressed with the overlocking stitching endings. They stick out and could easily damage the mattress. Improvement needed there.

Terrific range of customisation options on this TheraPur Shallow Divan bed base! However, the stitching on the overlocking endings is a concern, as it may easily unravel, which could lead to longevity issues.

Are the two sections definitely split east to west? Some reviews show them as being side by side?

Answer: We do say in the product overview how the product is split:"The divan bed base comprises two halves split horizontally, except the super king base which is split vertically and the single, which is one complete base."So for the double size bed it will be split east to west.Many thanks
