This foundation is perfect! There were a small number of parts and easy to follow instructions. It only took 30 minutes, at most, to put the whole thing together. Bonus points to the maker for providing a rubber mallet to knock the slats into place. The joy of not needing one of those allen wrenches!! The only "challenge" was the cover. It fits quite snug so second set of hands could be useful to get the fabric up around the corners. I have a brand new queen memory foam mattress that sits nicely on this foundation. I was worried about the weight of the matress on some similar products. Overall a great purchase.
