Putting wheels on a bed typically involves attaching castors to designated points on the underside of the bed base, especially common with divan style beds.
Attaching Wheels to a Divan Bed Base
Based on common practice, particularly for divan bed bases, the process of adding wheels is straightforward.
On the underside of the bed base, you will find specific points designed for wheel attachment. These are often referred to as slots or sockets.
Simple Steps
Here's how you generally proceed according to typical instructions:
- Locate the Slots: Look on the underside of the bed base. You should find slots specifically made for the wheels.
- Positioning: These slots are usually located in each corner of the base. However, it's always a good idea to check any accompanying manufacturer's instructions as the placement might vary.
- Insert the Wheels: Take the divan bed wheels and align them with the slots. Insert the stem or peg of the wheel into the corresponding slot.
- Secure Firmly: Once inserted, tap the wheels firmly into place. This ensures they are securely seated and will not wobble or detach during use.
This method, as described in the provided information, involves simply inserting the wheel stems into the pre-made slots and securing them by tapping firmly.
Understanding where to find these slots—typically in the corners on the underside—is key to successfully attaching the wheels. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions included with your specific bed base, as they will provide the most accurate guidance for your model.
