This was my first time putting one of these metal box springs together, so I will say this if you have any back issues get someone else to assemble this thing. It's not hard to put together but it does require a lot of bending over if you don't have the proper equipment or table to assembly it on. I do like that it feels alot stronger than the traditional wood box springs and a lot lighter. So I do think this will last for a long time. I do recommend this product for anyone who needs to replace or buy a new bow spring.
