How Do You Put a Divan Bed Together?

Putting a divan bed together is a job for two people and about half an hour, and this guide takes it stage by stage in the right order.

We cover setting headboard height to allow for mattress depth, the checks to run once the mattress is on, and why retightening after the first week prevents later squeaks.
