Ditto. I do have a California king but the set came with the correct
size twin box springs. None of the pieces were difficult to maneuver
around corners.

I've had a king size bed all my adult life. For many years I had a
soft-side waterbed. Twin box springs on a metal frame with a semi-firm
water mattress on top. It was *very* comfortable. But if they spring a
leak... that's no fun. Draining the bed to move it is no fun,
either. So when I moved here I replaced it with a nice King pillowtop
mattress and the set came with two box springs. I was able to use the
existing metal frame. (That's when I added the headboard, purely for
asthetics but I think it's pretty. I posted a link to a pic somewhere
in this thread.)
