Easy to assemble. Love the removable, washable cover. Also love the fact that this will last for years and can be easily disassembled if we move. No more buying cheap foundations that collect dust and inevitably end up on a landfill.

I like the base. It’s nice design and goes together well. It looks good and made my mattress much more comfortable. But two of the slats have broken. They aren’t quite strong enough. We are both around 200#, so I don’t think they should break that easy. I mean there was activity involved but isn’t that what beds are made for?

First of all, I didn’t realize I would have to put the frame together myself. Once I put it together it was a bit heavy for me and my daughter to carry up the stairs. There was not enough room to put it together upstairs. It was also too tall so we did scrape the wall a few times. In addition putting the cover on wasn’t easy either. Seems to be sturdy but I would recommend two twin boxsprings vs one large one. Much easier!

At first I thought we had received the wrong item. I was expecting a large box and was surprised to see a narrow, long box. Upon opening the box I found components for putting together a box frame. After the initial surprise, I found the instructions were clear, all the parts labeled and present, they even threw in two extra bolts, just in case! The little ratchet tool was not very useful, but the hex key was more than sufficient to put the pieces together. This is a really good and useful box mattress.

We bought 2 and returned 1 of them after finding out you had to put them together yourself and not being satisfied with the set up of the first box spring. We were under the impression these were 'premade and ready to set on the bed'. Not only does it fit very snug in the bed frame, almost doesnt fit but it sits high too. Dispite having the mattress on top of it, my son has to be careful not to knock into the lip of the box spring or it'll leave a nasty bruise on his knee.

Assembling the metal box spring was as simple as A, B, C. It took me about 15 to 20 minutes to complete assembly, and this was solely because I was being extra meticulous. I have owned wood box springs in the past and this metal upgrade (if I can call it that), certainly seems sturdier and I suspect likely to be more durable. I assigned 4 stars simply because I cannot predict what condition it will be in after the first year and beyond.

I did not expect this to come in a box, ready to assemble. However, it only took about 15 min to assemble and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the steel and wood frame. We are using this with our memory foam mattress and noted an immediate improvement from our previous board thin base.

I am not very handy but this was very easy and user friendly. Took a few minutes to figure out how the pieces go together -- literally about five minutes -- and then I was off to assembly. It's connecting the dots. I did it by myself and then put it on the bed myself. You need some space to put it together.

Metal box spring is exactly what i was hoping it would be. All parts were there, it is easy to assemble and is well made. The bolt holes all line up and they supply extra bolts just in case. It helps to have two people to move the assembled unit as its kind of heavy. Sam's price was 100.00 less than anywhere else.

Worth it. Great quality
