Best Choice Products 8x4x2ft Outdoor Metal Raised Garden Bed, Deep Root Planter Box for Vegetables, Herbs & Flowers, 478-Gallon Capacity, 100% Non Toxic Materials - Gray

This is my first year with these raised garden beds and so far they're great! A lot to fill but it was well worth it. These boxes go together really easy and are made of good material. The wood look is perfect and makes the garden look awesome. No more bending down to fertilize, plant or weed. Not only have I recommended these to everyone in different sizes but I'm going to buy 2 or 3 more. The rubber edging was tricky to keep on but once I punched the corners in they have held through all weather. Chipmunks and bunnies can't get up to the top so it's saved some of the plants. Price is unbeatable for what you get. Only negative is one of the top crossbars has surface rust after only a few months. That's minimal and I'm not gonna be that picky on this product.

We’ve got two different sizes of these and are loving them. Easy to put together, however they do take much longer to put together for one person than advertised. It took me about 30 minutes just to remove the protective shipping plastic coating, before even beginning to assemble. But they look great and work well. We filled the bottom of ours with untreated wood pieces and cardboard before filling with dirt.

The green sheet metal looks nice. Easy to put together. Great price. The 3 brace bars are poor quality, flimsy & bend easily and not galvanized. I’ll probably have to reinforce these down the road but for now are doing there job as I am filling the beds.The corner anchor pins are poor quality as well & not long enough to anchor the raised bed. However, I drilled the end corner holes larger & drove in an 8” galvanized pin in each corner. The bolts & wing nuts are not galvanized so these will eventually rust. Overall, it has met my needs for a raised garden bed that was affordable, looks nice & said to be non-toxic paint.

We added a bunch of these planters along the side of our big, pretty industrial looking, shop building. They have added a lot of space to grow herbs, flowers, and veggies as well as a lot of beauty to an otherwise not very attractive spot on our property. The beds are well made with much stouter metal sheets than I was expecting for the price. They were well packed for shipping and arrived with no damage at all. They are not hard to assemble, but it is much easier with two people and a power screwdriver. Doable with one person and by hand, but if you are assembling 9 of them, that would take a while. The most time consuming part, like others have mentioned, is getting the parts out of their packaging. This seems like something the company could easily fix. Prying every wing nut and bolt free from it's sticky shrink wrap and having to peel the plastic coating off each metal sheet takes about half of the total time of assembling. While the bubble wrap between sheets that is already there would prevent scratching and putting the hardware in a bag that does not require prying every little piece loose would cut the time to assemble in half while not detracting from anything else. Other than that factor, assembly was quite simple. They are quite sturdy once all the bolts are tightened. We filled with cardboard, then small branches, then a mix of topsoil and well rotted wood chips. We made sure to fill in layers, watering and semi compacting each layer carefully so as to not push any of the sides out of square as we went, but it seemed like that would be fairly hard to do with how sturdy the assembled box is. The finished beds are a wonderful height for working in without bending. They are big and deep enough (we have 6'x3'x2' beds) to hold moisture pretty well, even in our dry climate, so constant watering is not required. So far, in their first year, they look like they are holding up in like new condition and we expect to get many years and probably a lifetime of use from these beds. We are more than happy with the purchase and would buy more if we ever need beds in another location.

I've bought 5 of these now and we love them. They look very pretty in the yard and they've held up well (we've had the first ones for 2 years now). It is a LOT to fill, but we used sticks and rocks compost to help. These beds are great to help with keeping pests away and great for your back, no bending over! We added cheap arches and grow cucumbers on them. They're a little expensive but they're worth it. It was fairly easy to put together.

These boxes look good and are easy to assemble. This kit had wing nuts instead of regular nuts and that makes all the difference in the world to make it easy to assemble. Do not buy a kit with regular nuts as there's at least 40 nuts you have to put together. the center bows out a little bit when you add the dirt even when you put the center braces in but that's just physics and it didn't bother me too much. We might buy two more next year. The tomato plants are over 6 feet tall.

I give it five stars if you read this review. We bought two of these beds and they are very nice looking but kind of a pain to put together. I think of the instructions had a few more details nobody would have the problem we had. The first thing that happened is we open the box and we were missing 80 washers. We decided to get the other bed and get the 80 washers and then call the company and get what was missing. In the other box we had a different set of instructions that did not call for washers and there were not washers in the Box, looking at the first box I noticed that washers would not have worked with this product so I got instructions for a different product. Problem solved so we put the first bed together. Please note there are holes in the bottom of the four corner brackets that have to go on the bottom for the stakes. We got two of the corners correct had to take it apart and do it correctly. It would have been so easy just to remind you in the instructions to do this. There is also a finished side that has a film on it that dictates the outside of the planter box we did not notice this at first and had to redo another side. Once we figured out our mistakes the bed went together very easily a little time consuming and the second bed was three times as fast. We were leaving the screws a little loose thinking it would be easier to put together I would go ahead and tighten them all as you go. Well that's my story I hope it helps out some folks the beds are really nice and they look great and I would buy them again!

Easy to assemble, look nice. The support bars are not very strong at all, and started to rust after only a couple months. About a third of the hardware is very rusty after a couple months as well.

We have put them in our garden for berry bushes. Love this colour, blends great in the yard. Not thick material but works great!

These are perfect for deep root vegetables for anyone who can’t make their own planter box from wood or doesn’t want to deal with them rotting.

I previously had wooden boxes along the side of my house that were rotting. Decided to purchase these to replace the wooden ones. They weren’t the exact dimensions, but were super easy to modify. Just marked them with a grease pencil, cut them with a grinding wheel and drilled some new holes. I’m super happy with how they look. The down fall to them is that I think the cross supports are a little weak. Either they should be stronger or a piece of angle should run down the front and back bolt seams and then have the cross braces. I would definitely recommend them.

I didn't get it on time and customer service was great- I got it next day after their intervention. But the product is not good- not sturdy, very easy bending, cheap made. For the same price I got other garden beds- stainless steel, tough ones , really good quality. I will keep this one s I did assemble it but I will not recommend this product.

Like the height of the garden.
