Wow, this was perfect for me. I needed a new box spring and this works. I purchased a new gel foam mattress with this. I stay in the attic of my home and thought I would have a fit if I had to maneuver another box spring all the way up. Well this was so easy for me to assemble alone. The directions were great and it took me no time at all to get things set up. I would recommend this for anyone who has limited space and cannot find someone to move large items for them. This product is a great idea; I recommend it.
