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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Worth it. Great quality

Easy assembling and extremely sturdy

Not what I expected from the picture - I now have a metal box with a mattress but No Foundation :(

Material was not sewn all the way on. There was an 18” piece of material that was not seen on. Had to sew it on myself since I needed it ASAP

I was worried when box spring came in flat small box. I was surprised that I had to assemble. Seems to do the job, "metal frame" seem cheap.
