You will need a power drill to help with the screws or your wrists will get tired as heck screwing all the screws directly into the wood without holes pre-drilled. It took about 45 mins to assemble without a drill.
After putting my mattress on it and trying it out, it made a significant difference in my digestive problems. The incline is enough to affect your digestion but not so inclined that it feels different to sleep on. In my opinion it's actually more comfortable to sleep on a gradual incline like this and wont bother your partner.
Either way if you have stomach problems that get worse when you lay down, and get better when you sit up or stand, this box spring is a MUST have.The gentle angle of this Twin-size, Incline Box Spring has given a gratifying level of relief to the acid-reflux sufferer of our home. Perfect angle!! Hurray!! (Sure beats sliding off foam wedges or struggling with piled up pillows! Enough of that already!)
The box spring came with an excellent cloth cover, which fits exactly as it should and looks good. The box spring itself is sturdy. We were a bit dumbfounded, though, not to find a word of directions...no diagrams...no picture of what the assembled product should look like. No nothing! But we got online (not always a given), found a picture on Amazon, and then the person whose bed it is figured the rest out. She had it put together, all set up and bed made (with my minimal help) in under an hour from cracking the box open. We didn't have a power screw driver, but our wrists did manage to recover from screwing all those screws into the frame.
And yes, I have sent a comment to the company regarding that peculiar lack of ordinary, helpful paperwork.
Details:
A good quality wrench was included and a couple of extra screws and two extra bolts with their nuts and washers besides, for those of us with butter-fingers. The only tool needed which they didn't send was the Phillips-type screwdriver. Not a problem. The wood (spruce) was surprisingly nice, most of it reasonably smooth, in no way excessively splintery, so we didn't need the gloves I had at the ready just in case.
Before ordering through Amazon, I'd searched online for the Box Spring King company itself and then called asking for details (including precise dimensions) not shown on Amazon.
Talked with an excellent customer rep: He said the twin spring dimensions are 37 1/2" by 74" long, and that the head of the bed is 10" high and the foot is 6" high. He answered all my questions and also told me the wood used is spruce. Also, I believe he said the order would take 2 to 3 weeks--longer than Amazon's automatic prediction.
Shipping took two and a half weeks, so he was right. Though it was shipped out within only a few days from east Canada, it got hung up at the international border. Once it was released it had to make it from NE USA to the West Coast--which went smoothly. So all that was okay. We were given a tracking number with FedEx, and could see what had happened and track its travels.
The end of the story is that this Incline Box Spring was well worth the wait! Most of us know that a good night's rest is priceless.
Update after about a month of use: Would give this ten stars if I could...Even just witnessing improved health morning by morning is an excellent thing!

I suffer from GERD aka heart burn, therefore i need something like this. I had always just put thick phone books under the legs near the head of the bed. however after i recently bought a house and some really nice furniture, I couldn't do that anymore or it would just look too silly. this product is one of the few that I found that does the trick without having to elevate the legs of the bed. in terms of heart burn, it actually works well. the head of the boxspring is 4 inches higher (for cal-king sized bed). the set up was very easy with power tools, i think a wrench is included for the bolts, total set up time was probably less than 15 minutes. I've used it for about 2 months and have been happy.why ony 4 stars? for one thing, I thought it should have more slats. i thought the gap in between each slat was a little too wide. so overall i don't feel this is as good for my mattress as a normal boxspring would be. therefore for this reason, I also thought the price was a little high. but i can't complain too much about this since most boxsprings cost almost as much and this is a rather unique product. secondly, and this is minor the shipping was rather slow. thirdly, i thought that the head of the boxspring was rather high; it was higher than the original boxspring. if you get this, make sure you get the dimensions for your size so you know exactly what to expect.
