Great for us overweight folks.
***UPDATE 1/22*** Still love this box spring. No sagging whatsoever, still providing great support. We've moved twice since purchasing and breaking it down and reassembling a breeze!
LOVE this box 'spring'. For every review that is complaining about how heavy the box is; I'm going to need you to stop and think. This is a metal frame NOT a traditional wood box spring, of course, it's heavy. Please read the weight of the package. This was pretty easy to assemble even without words. There were one or two snags. In step one, the image looks as though there are nuts to be applied to the screw, this is not so. Then the images for steps 3 & 4 seemed to indicate you needed more nuts than you actually have. The M screws just like the L screws do not call fur nuts. So if you have ten nuts you are all good. Even with those moments of confusion still easy to assemble. Took about 30 minutes from start to finish and that was with a 5-year-old running around insisting on 'helping'.
It was easy peasy to get the cover over the metal frame, zipped up with no issue. However, if you really find this to be too much of a hassle just buy a bedskirt and be done.
This is providing us sooooo much more support than our old box spring (to be fair that thing was a decade old and its spring had long sprung). As my other half and I are both weight gifted, I really wanted to go with this box spring in hopes that it would handle our weight better than a traditional box spring. Only time can really tell on that front, but I am pleased thus far. We are using a Zinu 12 inch mattress and could not tell that we were laying on metal. Gave the mattress just the right amount of firmness. I slept so well last night I almost cried when my alarm went off and I had to get up this morning.
I'm sure at some point we are going to have to move again. I like the fact that we can deconstruct this, thus saving room in a moving truck when packing. Suggestion, do not remove the up stickers on the frame so that when it comes time to reassemble you'll know which way to put the pieces.
Add to all of that that this was cheaper than any box spring that I could locate at my local furniture stores. I'm one happy camper.
