The innovative box spring and bed frame foundation is easy to assemble, Simply pop it out of the box and attach a few screws and you're good to go. The directions are a bit confusing - two separate pages of directions with blurry images. If you are purchasing this item for a Queen size mattress then just follow page 1. If you are purchasing this item for a larger (King size mattress) then follow pages 1 & 2. This frame fits inside of a wood or  metal frame and comes with a white bed skirt to hide the whole assembly. You can use this as a standard bed with your own headboard/footboard combo or stand alone as a platform bed. 
I removed the bed slats that were holding up my mattress set, assembled this new bed frame, popped it inside of my metal bed frame and replaced the mattress. I threw out the boxspring - don't need it anymore! Bed is really confortable and you cannot tell that there is no box spring. The height is perfect. I highly recommed this product. Great investment.
