Steel box deewan with storage, made to your room size

What a box deewan is, and who it suits

A box deewan (also written diwan, and often called a box bed) is a deewan with a closed storage box underneath, and we make ours in steel. You sit or sleep on top, and the box holds things that would otherwise take up space in the room. It helps most in small rooms with no spare corner for storage. In the box you can keep:

• Winter quilts (razai) and blankets that stay folded away most of the year
• Extra mattresses kept for guests
• Old trunks and things you need only now and then

On the deewan in our photo, the top is made of hinged panels. Lift a panel to take things out of the box below. For clothes you wear every day, an almirah works better: see our steel almirah in Agra page.

Steel deewan or wooden deewan

Below are the general differences between steel and wood as materials, so you can decide what suits your home.

Choosing the size of your storage deewan

A deewan should fit the room and still leave space to walk, open the door and reach the almirah. So we start from your space, not from a fixed size. Our guide on made-to-size vs readymade almirahs explains the same idea.

• Where it will stand: along which wall, and how much of that wall is free
• Room size: walking space left once it is in place, and room for doors and windows to open
• What goes inside: quilts, mattresses or trunks decide how deep and tall the box should be
• What it is for: sitting in the day, sleeping at night, or both
• Mattress: if you already have one, measure it and tell us

Finish and colours

You choose the colour: maroon, black, green, brown, grey, cream, or a wood-look finish. The deewan in the photo at the top of this page is our own work, in a wood-look finish.

Planning an almirah for the same room? The wood-look finish is available on almirahs too, as in the photo below. For an almirah like that, see our wall-fit almirahs page.

To see more of what we make, look at photos of our work: almirahs, almirah gates, racks and deewan.

Simple care tips

General tips that suit any steel furniture:

• Keep it dry. If water or tea spills on it, wipe it at once with a dry cloth.
• Keep it a little away from a wall with seepage (damp).
• To move it, first empty the box, then lift it with two or three people. Don't drag it; dragging can scratch the floor and the finish.

What decides the price of a steel deewan

There is no fixed price list for deewans. The rate depends on three things:

• Size: the length, width and height of the deewan
• Sheet: which steel sheet is used; ask us before you order and we tell you openly
• Design: how the top and the box underneath are made

The quickest way to a rate: WhatsApp us a photo of the room and rough measurements.
