This was just what I was looking for. I'm not sure a pre-build box spring could have made it up my stairs, but this let me build it once it was in my bedroom. Do note: it is heavy when all boxed together, so be sure there are a couple (or more) of you to move the box or open it and move in pieces. Also, I put it together by myself with a normal screwdriver but it would have gone much faster if I'd had my drill with the screwdriver attachment (and saved my hands). However, easy to build and working very well.
