Never thought I would be excited over a box spring. Purchased twin size box spring for bed. Box spring came in box. When opened box it was also covered in plastic for added protection. Box spring is white/light color on the sides with plastic pieces on each corner to protect them. Very firm box spring that held mattress nicely. Delivery was much much faster than the estimated time. Came almost 2 weeks earlier than estimated time. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase a box spring of any size of this model. High quality. It comes ready to go. Just open the box and use immediately!
