I'm a 78yr old mechanically skilled arthritic, the most difficult step was bringing the box in and making myself follow the directions. Pros: Best directions I've seen in years. Excellent small parts package, well marked, even the spares. Good provided tools. All the parts fit!!! Cons: Nothing of consequence, the cross bars are a "snug" fit, I tapped them in with a rubber mallet. Total time from box opening to setting the mattress on top was just under an hour and a half.

Box springs have... springs. This doesn't. It's a metal torture rack no different than every other cheap foundation made for beds today. Anyone born after 2000 probably doesn't even know what a real night's sleep is. Box springs have actual springs, not metal coils that don't move. Imagine the difference between sleeping on a metal slab and sleeping on a trampoline with give. Box springs have SPRINGS. This doesn't.

I rate this box spring as fair because it was the cheapest king box I could find, and, you get what you pay for. The box itself is good, just tedious to put together. However, as all the other reviews state, the cloth cover absolutely does not fit. It tears very easily upon trying to get it zipped up and there is NO way that it will close properly otherwise. This was frustrating, time consuming, and upsetting. My husband and I attempted this task (of JUST zipping) for over an hour. We wound up leaving half of it unzipped and just placed a sheet over it to hide the metal. It's not really a huge deal to us but it's not right that the manufacturer doesn't correct this. We're hoping this box does not do any damage to our new mattress...

A put together metal frame that took me about an hour to assemble on my own. I was expecting a regular box springs. Maybe it's time to move on from that. With a king size it's a 9" platform which mashes the bed a lot higher than expected, but seems super comfy if you like a firm bed. Jumping up into bed might be worth the $100 we saved over a serta box springs

The frame pieces could?ve been labeled and the fabric cover could?ve been a little bit bigger. The pieces that like hold the mattress just lock in. Sorta wished there was at least the option to screw them into place. All in all it does its job, fits our frame well. Very firm sadly but that?s my bad for not realizing that it wasn?t an actual box spring.

Bought this for my new bed that requires a box spring. I dreaded it because I remembered how the squeaky wooden ones used to drive me crazy. These smart box springs are not only easy to assemble but are solid and offer great support. Bet of all, they are quiet. NO SQUEAKING OR ANY OTHER SOUNDS!! To top it off my memory foam mattress is so much more better supported that it changed the feel of the mattress. My expectations have been far exceeded and believe me you will not regret purchasing this box spring.

Assembling the box spring is fairly easy. I liked the box spring but will need to return it because the dimensions are smaller than the mattress so it hangs out on the sides. This box spring is 53x74x9 and the mattress is 54x75 so make sure that matches when purchasing.

Solid

We put together 4 of these in less than 1.5 hours. They included everything needed such as a mini socket. They seem to be very sturdy.

This is high quality, easy to assemble, very well made. My husband said to rate it 5 stars, he doesn't say that for anything!
