I ordered this thinking it was just a regular box spring, that’s where I was very wrong! You have to build your own box spring with a galzillion pieces of Niuts and bolts . Yeah I was replacing a box spring that squeaked, I’m pretty sure this one would have squeaked worse. I took it back and bought a regular box springs!!!

We have purchased something similar to this before from Sam's but this time it was a total let down. It was easy to put together, but we struggled for almost an hour trying to zip up the cover around the frame. We tried it inverted and then the opposite way and nothing worked. It was so obvious the cover didn't fit. The zipper finally busted when we were halfway around. You can see in the photos where the cover had been stretched so much it was starting to tear. fast forward to us just trying to rig it and use it with the cover unzipped and it looks like the box spring is smaller than our king size mattress we also purchased from Sam's! How is that possible, I bought a king mattress and a king box spring--? Everything that could have gone wrong , did. So disappointed.

This is a great buy. So far, everything from shipping to assembly has gone great. It took about 30 minutes to assemble. Overall, the instruction could have been better, but they are usable. The end product is sturdy and looks pretty good. My only con so far, the box spring appears to be larger than the mattress. It's not a significant difference, and I really think it has something to do with my less than high quality mattress. I wouldn't deduct a star for this, but I thought it was worth mentioning, just in case other buyers experience this too. For those of you that have never purchased/owned a metal box spring, it's worth it. Most traditional and affordable box springs degrade and make noise over time. Compared to a high quality and expensive foundation, the metal box springs are inexpensive and hold up like those expensive foundations.

Not sturdy

We thought we were ordering a regular box spring but it came in a small narrow box, yikes! It was a smart box spring, meaning you put it together, it is a metal frame with cloth around it, no spring, no give. It's not much better than sleeping with the mattress on the floor or a metal frame.

Easy to put together

Good sturdy box spring and easy to assem

The size of the item is not appropriate. I have ordered king size but its smaller than king size.

the right size and works great!

It was a little strange to have to put a box spring together, but it seems to be working well.
