Exactly what I needed
All needed hardware (9 nuts and bolts for the support assembly, and 6 screws for securing the supports to a wooden bed frame) are included - you will need a Phillips head screwdriver and a mallet or hammer.Setup was mechanically easy, though time consuming and a little confusing at times. The instructions are a bit light on exactly how the cross supports attach. One side of each cross support has a notch cut out of it - this notch fits around the horizontal angle bar and you attach to the top most bolt hole. It took a little bit to work out exactly which set of holes to use. I also opted to fully unscrew the feet from their plastic receivers and then hammer the receiver into the metal leg piece before screwing the foot back into the receiver. Though the plastic seems to be rugged, I doubt smacking the foot with a hammer and putting that stress on the threads is a great idea and others commented about trouble with the plastic threads failing and I imagine these two things could be related. I've seen others that added a nut to the foot to provide extra support and take some of the stress off the plastic threads, so I'll keep that in mind if I run into any issues though they seem plenty strong for the moment.You'll want to adjust the 3 cross bars to the correct length and lock them in place, attach the optional height extension brackets (leave the bolts finger tight only because you will need to remove one of them), and attach the feet, and then position the three supports paying attention to the orientation of the brackets so that all three are oriented in the same direction. Then attach the center support to the bed using the included screws, and then using the center bar as your reference point attach the cross supports and secure the bars to the bed. Lastly, adjust the feet down to the floor and give it a little test push to ensure there's no wiggle with weight applied. The supports are heavy angle bracket, so there's not much give to them - be sure those feet are all the way down or else you'll be putting all of the weight on the wood bed frame pieces and not realized it until you're on the floor.I was replacing a set of 3 cross supports with feet under a king sized bed. Those legs became damaged when the bed was moved, causing the legs to be pulled forward and twisting. Unfortunately, their design meant that there was no way to safely move the bed without fully disassembling it, which I learned the hard way.The new legs have a few advantages. For one, there is the crossing supports between each leg that prevents any front to back twisting which could otherwise cause the supports to turn and snap the screws securing them to the bed frame as happened with my old supports. The adjusting feet also mean that you can adjust the feet up to move the bed and then adjust them back down once it is in place again. Finally, these legs are quite rugged and would take some very serious conditions for them to bend or break. I'd expect the wood frame to break before these cross supports ever gave out.Once fully assembled and secured, this provided a rock solid platform for my mattress. Though this was a replacement after the previous legs failed and just about anything would have been an improvement, these supports are significantly more stable than the old original legs that came with the bed frame were when new. A nice upgrade overall and I'm very happy with my purchase.

This was great!
I had bought my daughter a new bed- unfortunately the wood slats were not sturdy and broke within a month. I purchased this for stability. It was very easy to install and it is adjustable so it fit perfectly. A great value. I would definitely recommend this product if you need to stabilize your bed. It is very sturdy now.

APlus bed frame
Our bed has had a terrible sag in the middle since the grandkids discovered the joys of jumping. We decided to buy a new bed, but saw this frame and decided to give it a try in the meantime. WOW!!! We don’t even need a new bed! No more pain in the morning from a sagging mattress!! Watch the youtube to learn how to put the frame together, but really, it was simple. It’s clearly a great value, and will last for many years (and beds!). It’s adjustable so when we do get the new bed and go larger we will be reusing this frame. We couldn’t be more impressed and pleased.
