This box spring requires assembly. There is a metal frame that comes in many pieces which need to be bolted together. Not all the holes lined up correctly on mine. Metal bars cross from side to side and a thin fabric cover goes over the metal frame. I was concerned about the stability, but it has turned out to be more comfortable than anticipated. Another advantage is that it is light weight and easier to move than a traditional box spring, but still requires 2 people to move efficiently. I am concerned about the long term durability, but it has only been 2 months in use, so I cannot comment on that at this point.

With the included tools and easy to follow instructions, this was very easy to assemble. I put it together by myself, though another set of hands would have made it much easier. A firm stable box to hold the mattress and convenient to take apart for transport if needed.

I bought this box spring about 2 months ago, delivery was free and fast. It came in a long box and assembly was required. It was pretty easy to assemble if you follow the instructions. It is an all metal frame, with no springs, then you cover it with a thin fabric that closes with a zipper. It fits the base of the bed perfectly. The only thing is that it came really dusty, so make sure to clean it before assembly, so the carpets won't get dirty.

Seems very sturdy however, I had an issue with fitment. I have an IKEA queen sleigh type of bed. And This Metal box spring does not fit it good. There is too much room where the box spring sits, I found out that if you wiggle around alot in your sleep it will fall off the inner edge where its supposed to sit.

This box arrived pretty banged up (and much later than promised when I ordered), but I was surprised to find that several of the metal pieces inside were rusted. I probably should have complained and asked for a replacement, but I had needed this days before it arrived so I simply accepted it for what it was. Once assembled, it seems very sturdy. I just really hope the rusted pieces do not come back to haunt me in the future...

didnt read description and thought it was a traditional box spring. opened the box and saw all the pieces and was going to return. wound up putting it together. (very easy) and it turned out perfect. set it on top of a traditional queen size bed frame with mattress on top.easy to take apart for moving or storage.

I purchased this to support a new foam mattress I just purchased to go on top of a platform bed. Not only was this extremely easy to put together, but it is well made and offers the support needed for a mattress. I would definitely buy this again instead of going to a mattress store to buy one. Much more affordable!

The box spring instructions were difficult to follow initially. Once you got a hang of it, it was quite easy to put together and time consuming of course. It come with all the tools necessary to install and once assembled it is pretty light. It’s durable and I recommend if no one wants to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a box spring.

I ordered this item because our box spring did not fit up the stairs in my old 1920's home. I ordered is 2 weeks before it actually got to me. The delivery date kept getting pushed back every time I looked. Love the item though it was really easy to put together and simple to replace our big box spring!

Simple to assemble and easy enough to do alone, however it was easier with help from a friend. Only challenge we had was being so excited to put the mattress down, we forgot to add the cover. Trying to put the cover on while the box is on the bed frame was our plan, except we should have read the instructions...we added the cover quickly, but discovered it was upside down when we zipped it up. Not a big deal, but could be a headache to access if any screws need tightening in future. It's been a few weeks in use and I've not experienced any issues. No squeaking or other sounds, so I'd definitely recommend it.
