Raised Garden Bed 2-Pack Metal Elevated Planter for Vegetable Flower Herb (5 ft.)

Overall very good quality, assembled much like photos. On the negative side, no instructions were included, but was very easy to assemble. There was no protective film coating on the pieces and some of the pieces had small dents here and there, not important to me but if you have OCD this might bother you. There were no extra hardware pieces so if you drop or loose one be prepared to dig into your nuts and bolts. The screws could be a little longer, just fit. This was the most difficult part as I have trouble with my thumbs. Overall I would buy again.

Just received these a few days ago. They look easy enough to assemble *once you get all of the blue plastic wrap off*! Seriously, it's like it's glued on. If you order these here is my advice:Side pieces: Completely peel one end down like 3" or so to get it started, then peel down the sides from one end to the other on both sides. Then grab where you started at one end and start working the plastic off. This seems to be the best method.End Pieces: Similar to the side pieces, however on the underside of the end piece, the plastic is stuck to the rolled edges. So get a utility knife of some kind and cut the plastic along the underside of the curve all the way down on both side. The get one ends start, pull up the sides and pull down the middle (like on the side pieces).The product looks like it's pretty good quality, the hardware - meh. You'll spend more time taking the blue plastic off than you will with assembly and probably filling.Advice to manufacturer - lose the blue plastic and use something less sticky if you have to use anything at all.

I didn’t realize until they arrived that each of these is made of 8 panels that must be bolted together. I had concerns about the sturdiness, but that turned out to be a non-issue; they’re quite sturdy. And they’re very easy to put together. My one and only complaint is that the supplied bolts, washers and nuts used to connect the panels together are zinc-plated, rather than galvanized. Zinc plated hardware is not intended for outdoor use, and will eventually rust; as a consequence, I anticipate that this product will last several years, but that I’ll probably never be able to disassemble it. How big a deal is that? Not much. But still, for something like this, the manufacturer should be providing galvanized hardware rather than zinc plated hardware. That’s a pretty basic oversight for an outdoor product. I’m knocking off one star for that.

So I purchased these used, didnt verify if they came with the parts or not so when they did come and no bolts were in the box I was a little upset. Contacted customer service and they told me there was no way for them to see if I had purchased the used item with parts or without parts.No matter, I went to home depot and purchased the 48 bolts and nuts needed to assemble the planters and its exactly what I wanted. The metal is light enough to move around the entire thing by yourself. The blue protective film was kind of annoying to peel off as it came off in tiny pieces so I left it on the inside, there will be dirt in there anyways! Lol

These raised beds are sturdy and worked well for what we needed them for. Assembly was easy and we love them. HOWEVER, the first box came completely torn and damaged! The screws and bolts were left free floating in the box. It's a miracle we weren't missing any because when we brought the box in, all the screws fell out through a small hole. On the second order, the box was secure and intact, but again the screws and bolts were free floating. In this box, we were actually missing 2 washers, go figure. All in all these are nice garden beds, and they are worth it if you can get them delivered correctly. It's really up to chance with your order. I really wanted to give them 5 stars but how they're packaged is just ridiculous.

These were exactly what I was looking for. They are very easy to put together (the side panels go on the inside btw) and very sturdy. I will be ordering another set! Also mine didn't come with the blue sticky sheets that the other reviewers said, so I was very happy about that as well.

Got these and it took a bit to remove the plastic. Probably should have left it on the inside that is covered with dirt but oh well. They are a little bit out of "Oval" but you can easily push them a bit and they stay put. Wish they were more substantial metal but they do the job just fine for my little garden. Thanks for the great product!

These are aweosme garden beds. The only downside is having to peel the blue plastic off before you assemble. It takes forever but other than that is an awesome garden bed!
