CPS Wood Products Premium Easy Fit Box Spring Foundation, Queen

Like many, I paused on ordering because of the numerous negative reviews.However, being pretty handy I figured I could beef up anything as long is the parts were straight and not broken. So all worked out fine for this product.Pros- Average-to-good quality wood (probably a B class)- Easy, in-line/straight set up (the screws went through the holes cleanly)- Portability (would be easy to disassemble and move)- Good quality cover (I was actually very pleasantly surprise by this)- Time... time... time... (as shipped, sets up in 30 minutes or less)- Price (very good value for cost of materials and setup time)Cons- All joints/connections double stapled rather than nailed- No glue on joists- 3 or 4 of the slats were pretty warped and/or bowed- Not enough slats in my opinion for a latex mattress (I've read the gap should be about 2 inches; these would be 3 to 3 1/2)SpecificsFrankly, it's amazing to me what some people in these reviews think they should receive for under $200. It's like the person who goes to the restaurant with 4 different coupons, tries to apply them all... then still tips poorly.PEOPLE, YOU'RE PAYING LESS THAN $200!And for the NUMEROUS reviews I've read where people have written this could be build for $100, their clueless. Here's the fact...I built nearly the same setup for a twin XL. Materials alone cost me $40. I bought/used 1" x 2 3/8" x 96" cut down to 39". So, 9 boards/furring strips, all Spruce, at $2.49 is $22.41 plus 10% tax. Another $18 for the Spruce supports/crosses, etc. plus a few bucks in screws and tax. Total was just over $40. Then, you'd double that for a king size.HOWEVER, it would take you AT LEAST 2 hours to build. I built the twin in just over an hour, and I had all parts pre-cut, and I've remodeled several houses. I have a clue as to what I'm doing.So, seriously, what is your time worth? I'll gladly pay the extra $100 or so to save a few hours. Most people, it would take them half a day to build, provided they had the tools.Also, ANYONE comparing this quality to Ikea is LOST. This wood is Spruce, kiln dried. Nearly EVERYTHING Ikea sells in terms of frames/foundations is a very low quality pine. This wood is machined, sanded on all 4 sides, and I only found a few areas of splintering, etc. Again, price vs value.Now, which I chose to do what put a 1.5" screw at every connection that had a staple. Then, I added about 6 extra slats to close the gap to 2". I screwed the slats down.Frankly, the screws are overkill if the unit won't be moved and will make a HUGE hassle to move in the future if you don't have room. Remember, a mattress spreads the weight out evenly. And a latex mattress weights more than 200 pounds. Once on the foundation, that thing will be solid and the slats won't move due to the weight and pressure.But... I've always just preferred screws so I modified it anyway. Again, probably overkill, yet I like the peace of mindSo, all things considered, I wished I would have ordered after reading/researching for about 20 minutes rather than the hours I spent. And I would DEFINITELY recommend this product. Any issues can be fixed very easily by anyone who's halfway handy, or knows someone who is.PS - Actually ordered 2 of these units but cancelled 1 before being shipped. Seller didn't do what most companies do, which is ship both anyway and then respond to your email after the units are on the track. S/he cancelled the extra unit before shipping and credited my credit card. Props to them.

This is a good quality all-wood bed box, I bought this to replace yet another epic fail of a pre-assembled bed box which made so much noise it could wake me up in the night if I so much as moved, and which as usual was just epic fail construction covered in a layer of cardboard once you cut through the cover... tired of that garbage probably made in some third world country from people being paid $5 a day to put them together.Fully assembled, this has proven to be the quietest and sturdiest bed box I have ever owned, second in quietness only to an all-wood bed frame that my dad made for me as a kid, which had an elevated mid-section resulting in only needing a sheet of wood which the mattress would sit on (until I got older I never knew there was a such thing as a "bed box", and to this day still don't understand why they're even needed, but hey, all modern frames are built in such a way that they're needed so hey)I do have 2 complaints though, and one of them is not really the seller's fault.1. The frame seemed to be lucky to have made it through shipping, there were holes in the box, one place which looked like an anvil must have dropped on it or something (which someone even marked with a red X on the box at the point of damage) and the box was barely even staying together, I was surprised that all parts made it intact with so many openings that the included hardware could have fallen out of, but again, shipping error, not the seller's fault; the extent of the product damage was limited to a small dent in one of the support beams, nothing major.2. This one is definitely a design flaw: Only 6 included screws to assemble the entire top to the rest of the frame?! This was clearly a major oversight; I went ahead and attached it with the 6 screws and it left the entire top fully able to flop all over and come detached anywhere inbetween the top/middle/bottom sections that were actually screwed in place, also any pressure applied in the middle resulted in a loud "clack" due to there being literally nothing connecting the center beam to the top planks... I had to go buy a corded drill/screwgun and 27 more screws in order to properly fasten the top boards in place in a way that they can't flail all over the place. Considering the cost of these units and the level of quality that seemed to go into making them, I can't really fathom any need to cut corners in this regard; it only takes about 5 minutes to drill the extra holes needed, and all those screws only come out to a few dollars, even at retail price.

Best king boxspring out there. Absolutely amazing. Light. Durable. Cover hides the wood. The wood is unfinished, and easy to get up muticoner stairwells!
