Look great, easy to assemble, are holding up well
These raised beds were easy but time-consuming to assemble. I was OK with that, because they need to hold a lot of soil/weight, and the many bolts help hold them together. The color was nice, too. I already have plants growing in them and they look very neat and respectable. Be mindful of the corner pieces, as it’s easy to attach them the wrong way. Otherwise, the hardest part of setting these up is filling them. It’s a lot of space to fill. I watched some YouTubes on various ways to fill raised beds, and opted for a sand layer near the bottom for drainage, and a mulch layer below the top soil. I mixed coco coir (available on Amazon) in with top soil just under the very top layer to retain some moisture between waterings. You can do your own research and look at products you might want to try. I also bought some fertilizer, as raised beds need that occasionally. Amazon has many varieties.NOTE: The trellis and stakes seen here are sold separately. The wooden stakes can be found a lot of places, and the “trellis” is an arched cow panel (idea from YouTube). I didn’t buy either from Amazon, but Amazon has some very nice options for all of these things.

Awesome bed for vegetable garden
Excellent for the price.Very easy to assemble! Box was heavy but manageable (I can lift 50 lbs). We assembled it in the garage and then carried it and place it in the garden spot. Two adults needed to move it because it’s large and wobbly, not heavy.Beige color is a bit more yellow than I expected, but meets my aesthetic needs.Followed an online video of how to layer. Used firewood, cardboard, and branches for the bottom. Then about 38 cu ft of garden soil. Glad to have found some 1 cu ft bags on sale for $4 at the local Ace and mixed in about 12 cu ft of a higher cost soul.I squeezed a lot of plants in and hope it’s enough room for them.5 varieties of tomatoes4 varieties of small peppers2 chives2 fennel2 basil1 parsley1 scalloped squashAbout 6 onion bulbs scattered along the edges

Easy to assemble and Reasonable Price
It’s huge! Good huge, it’s really deep and my tomatoes, okras and eggplant thrived!Though it took some time to put together it is easy enough for me to do it alone, it might take less time if I got help. The middle brace can be improved, it is on the flimsy side but I guess it is enough to pull the long sides together. The rubber parts to place on top can be omitted or improved since it always got out of place.Overall I am satisfied.

Great size, sturdy, nice looking raised beds!
These are awesome raised beds. We are getting 2 more for next season. Very roomy. It’s unreal how much produce you get from one bed. I have 2 bed and had 50 lbs of tomatoes to can besides all the other vegetables I had in the bed. Easy to assemble too!

Best garden boxes!
We love our new garden boxes. They look so clean and neat in the garden and we don’t have to worry about them fading in the weather like wood does. They’re the perfect height to make gardening easier. I had no idea how much they would improve our garden area. They are light weight yet sturdy, easy to put together and we ended up buying four. Highly recommend!

Great raised bed
Pretty happy with this overall. It’s a solid raised bed and holds a ton of soil – definitely enough space for all the veggies and herbs I wanted to plant. Looks nice in the yard too.Only thing is, putting it together was kind of a pain. Not super difficult, just time-consuming with all the pieces. But once it’s done, it feels sturdy and well-made. Glad I got it.

Love These
We bought three! And now I wish I bought two more. Easy to put together and worked beautifully for our raised-bed vegetable garden. Filled half with twigs, leaves, mulch and garden debris before adding the top soil. My back and knees have been saved!!!

It’s an okay garden bed
I have 5 other garden beds aside from this one from a different company. I purchased one of these before I bought more so this is garden bed number 6.These are my pros and cons.ConsThis was the most time consuming and tedious garden bed I’ve put together. I’m middle aged and fairly in good shape but being hunched over for a long period of time trying to get all 10 screws and nuts in (30 per side) hurt.The corners were bent due to the poor quality of plastic that covered the corners.The metal rails for support in the middle of the beds are super super poor quality and very flimsy so be careful with assembly and bending the metal so much.ProsThe metal is heavy duty.The color is nice.I liked that the outside part that had the plastic protective film to prevent scratching.I like that it came with a rubber protective guard for the top but honestly it isnt needed. The metal does have any sharp edges and isnt thin enough to hurt.If this company has other designs I may try another one out but I wont be getting another one of these just because of how tedious, time consuming, and some of the quality issues I faced.
