Exactly what I wanted for my overweight daughter. This is a wonderful modernized box spring with padded sides. It was very easy to put together as it took me 30 minutes.  It is strong with metal frames and about 12 sturdy cloth covered slats.  I am an elderly woman and would imagine a younger person could put it together in 20 minutes.  It has a good height so you will need a very low bedframe and a mattress that should not exceed 10 inches. For example a 9" bedframe with this 9"box spring and a 10" mattress will give you a bed 28 inches in height.  Hope this helps.
