The foundation was easily assembled in less than an hour, and the two necessary tools (small open-end wrench and hex key) were included. However, I do recommend that you have a rubber mallet available to tap the parts together. Using a ratchet and socket would also speed assembly by a few minutes. Once the frame was assembled, my wife and I lifted one end and installed the cover. Cover installation was easier than installing a pillowcase on a pillow, and zipped effortlessly. The foundation lifted our mattress to the perfect height (we have a log bed) above our side rails. The mattress now has a firmer feel and sleeps wonderfully. This unit will also allow our mattress to breathe more efficiently. When I checked local companies for a low-profile box-spring set, the quotes were 2 to 3 times higher than the cost of this unit and none were available in local stores, so we'd still have to wait on shipping. This is a sturdy foundation and is an outstanding value.   Read Less
