ZINUS 9 Inch Metal Smart Box Spring, Mattress Foundation, Strong Metal Frame, Easy Assembly, Queen

We checked out some box springs to replace our busted wooden ones. The price has definitely gone up substantially on them. We decided to try out the metal box springs hoping for longer lasting and more sturdiness. The product says is can hold up to 750 pounds.My husband and teen son assembled the boxspring together. It came with all the necessary tools. Would say the only thing we really had a problem with is that the middle shafts are hollow and we had some bugs in ours so we beat them down into the bathtub and made sure that they weren’t in any more of the metal. I can’t really see how a warehouse could have this 100% under control to not have this happen so we do not blame the company for anything. Just FYI for you to check before you assemble it. My husband and son were having a bit of trouble getting the cover on until I came up and helped them out. Luckily there’s a little flap that says top so you know exactly which way to put it on. It was easy putting it on after that. We’ve had it for about two months now and it works great. Great product for the price in a time of outrageous bedding prices.

I’m really impressed with this metal box spring. It was super easy to assemble — took me less than 30 minutes on my own. It feels very sturdy and supports my mattress perfectly without any squeaking or movement. The height is just right and it fits perfectly in my bed frame. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something durable and affordable!

Loved the fact that it arrived in a compact box making it very manageable to carry through the house and into the bedroom as I have a very small and constricted floor plan.Upon opening the box it seemed a bit overwhelming but once I looked at the instructions and the diagram of the labeling of the pieces I was very impressed with how easy it was to lay out and put together.All the hardware fit smoothly and was easy to put together using only the tools that were supplied. That in itself was a touch of class, to be provided those items and not have to find and size up my own tools.The quality of the hardware as well as the packaging was well thought out and I appreciated the extra nuts and bolts. I actually used the extra nuts to double nut the two long bolts that secured the middle cross members together in the center of the box to ensure they don't work their way loose over time.The nuts and bolts looked to be well made and the shouldered and serated locking surfaces of the nuts weren't lost on me. That was a great selection of fasteners. The bolts were made very well and the heads did not ring out or become deformed from being tightened and kept their integrity and shape so as to be removed for disassembley in the future if needed.All the frame work pieces had a very nice finish to them appearing to be powder coated. The final addition of the frame cover was an added item that enhanced the overall quality and appearance of the total package once it was fully assembled.Total assembly time was no more than an hour by myself and being put together on and inside an existing raised oak bedframe with large headboards and side rails.Very pleased with this excellent product and would most definitely buy again and recommend to others looking for a similar item to fit their needs and lifestyle.

First of all, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this box spring. Only one night sleeping on it but no squeaks so far. I should add that I will update this review if any problem occurs.Before I ordered this, I read through all of the questions and answers which took a couple of hours. So glad that I did as several customers mentioned the cover and problems putting it on. It is a very tight fit but if I can do it at my age, anyone can do it. A suggestion to the manufacturer would be to add perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 inch more fabric and it would not be so difficult to place over the box spring.I also watched the video twice before I ordered this and that was easy to follow. Four of the pieces were labeled with a yellow sticky that said 'up' which was most useful. My other suggestion would be to label all of the pieces with 'A, B, C, D etc. which would have decreased my assembly time by at least one hour. I did go back and watch the video again while I was assembling.Total time for me to get the pieces in the right order, double-check the placement, tightening of the hardware, etc, was 4 hours. After I got the box spring assembled, I went around each piece and put pressure on each one, to make sure things were as tight as I could get them. I am visually impaired so perhaps that contributed to the amount of time it took me to assemble it.At my age, I am thinking that perhaps I should have had someone make sure I had everything tightened well. If anything loosens up over time, will have someone help tighten it for me.All in all, so far and so good. The mattress I have on top is really heavy and as I stated previously, the box spring has no squeaks and appears to be most durable. In other words, no movement of the box spring.Update to follow if anything should occur.Edit on 26 MAR 2019... Have been using this for 17 months now... No squeaks, absolutely zero problems! Still as satisfied as the day i first reviewed this in October of 2017. And, my recommendation is still that I highly recommend this box spring.Update on 10 OCT 2019.... The 2 year anniversary of this box spring and once again there are no squeaks and zero problems. Still highly recommend this box spring~Update as of 30 JAN 2021...Absolutely still in perfect condition. Was going to increase the star rating to 5 but don't dare to change it. Truly outstanding and most highly recommend this item for everyone that wants a sturdy and long-lasting box spring. Could not be any more pleased with a product...Most highly recommend...
