Canter Bridge

These days, you don’t have to worry about how to get a giant box spring home. All 45 pounds of this puppy shows up at your doorstep in a compact box that’s easy to carry upstairs and simple to assemble. The latter took me about 30 minutes, using the clear instructions and the included tools. The light aluminum construction distributes the weight of the mattress and the human (OK, maybe the occasional canine) bodies that rest atop it in a way that makes a heavier boxspring unnecessary. The fabric ‘envelope’ zips snugly around the finished metal frame.

I recently assembled a smaller (twin) boxspring that uses wood slats. I prefer this metal assembly by a hair.
