This is the first time I ever ordered a box spring on line. I was hesitant to purchase one without first seeing it. However, the reviews convinced me that was a good box spring. Since I have stairs, I did not want a mattress which would be heavy and difficult to move. I love the fact that it folds in half, and was easy to take up the stairs. This box spring is firm, and seems well made. This was a good choice for my guest bedroom.
