This Box Spring needs some assembly. My wife and I are 73 years old and had it assembled in less than one hour. This item is the best "thought through" assembly I have ever seen. You will literally never have to replace this box spring. 1st class parts from beginning to end, looks great, and will perform great. I promise it will surpass all of your expectations.

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.

i wasnt amazed because i previously had purchased a zinus mattress but what was cool was how easy it was to put together, cover and slip onto the frame under the mattress (yes i know i did everything backwards ) and how everything came together like clockwork.Thanks Zinus!

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 don't need multiple hours of laying this out and then assembling it (20 metal rods to screw together). To hold it while screwing rods together likely would have taken a second person to hold it. Two people x two hours minimum, not worth it. As soon as I took one look at the directions, I knew after committing time to assembly, it might not be right and cover might not fit, etc..... We sealed it up and returned it to Samsclub. I ordered another brand from a local furniture store (no assembly) and even with picking it up, it was surely less time than I would have spent on this.

Unpacked box. Tried to follow the "Easy as 123 " photo instructions. Useless. There weren't 2 "#1" peices. Actually thought one of them wasn't in box. Shipping said 9 frame peices. There were 9. Finally looked at bed frame picture. Laid out peices on bed frame. Only thing I used instruction sheet for was to see which screws went where. Could have saved myself 15 minutes if I just would have done that in the first place.

The instructions a bit confusing but overall the BoxSpring is great. One issue the rails will come out and do not really fit snug and the COVER does not fit. I called Zinus and they are giving me difficulty be careful and if you order online they will not accept purchase history as proof of purchase and Reps are rude.

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!

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.
