WOO-HOO! What a kick! You pull this out of the box, unfold it, and Voila! a genuine box spring in the mail! We were moving to a new home. I knew we'd arrive exhausted to an empty house, so I had Wayfair ship a few necessities to us. Mattresses, box springs, etc. I decided to spring (pun intended) for this one, which is about twice the price of some of the other mattress foundations on Wayfair, because of the reviews that described what I've just said. It's true! We had a handyman unwrap the memory foam mattresses I ordered a couple of days before we got there. They fluffed up. We unboxed this, unfolded it, and put it on our new bed, with the comforters and other stuff I had Wayfair send. Best sleep I've ever had. Great way to have a place to land when we arrived late. Worth every penny. Can't show a photo of the steel foundation, but here's the done up bed.
