drawer storage
To release the drawers, please cut the temporary
restraining straps and trim o any excess.
Pulling the straps o may tear the fabric.
Ottoman instructions can be found on the
following pages.
Do not overload the drawers
• Mini drawers – max 7kg
• Standard drawers – max 15kg

attaching a headboard
First of all decide which end of the bed is to be
used for a headboard, then use scissors to carefully
pierce the fabric where the hole can be felt
underneath the stickers.
Strutted headboards
1. Place the headboard bolt
into the hole and fasten into
place. Lower the headboard
into position before fully
tightening the bolt.
2. Note that headboard heights can be adjusted, by
amending the position of the screws on the back of
the board. There are 5 dierent positions in which
you can adjust the height of your board to allow it
to sit nicely above your mattress.

Full height headboards
1. Using scissors, carefully pierce the fabric where
the stickers mark the hole in the headboard. Line
up the headboard hole with the divan hole.
Thread the headboard bolt through them both and
tighten into position. If additional ittings have been
supplied, please use these instead of the standard
ittings issued with the Divan Base. Pierce the
Divan with the bolts and screw into the base until
the shorter thread is no longer visible. Position the
headboard in place.

2. Place a single plastic cap on each of the bolts and
tighten until headboard is secure. Place a second
plastic cap on each of the bolts to prevent them
from catching*.
*The additional cap can also be used as a spacer between the
Headboard and the Divan. This should only be used as a spacer if
the Divan Drawer is restricted from opening by the Headboard.
