Poor Design
I had high hopes for these raised beds. The fact they would never rot out like wood made them a good choice. However, they are not built strong enough to support the weight of the soil you fill them up with. The sides on all 3 of mine are bowed out on day 1. I could only imagine what they’re going to look like years down the road. I wrote lifetime thinking maybe I got a bad batch but they said this is normal and I could put a stake in the middle to keep these from bowing out. Seems like a poor design to me

    Bought additional boxes to add to ones I've had for 5 years now. They have been outside the entire year for the last 5 years and have not warped or faded or fallen apart.

    Very satisfied
    I bought my first beds about 7 years ago they still look great! I’ve started stacking 2 now so I don’t have to bend over so much. I have grown vegetables and flowers in them. The service is wonderful too if you ever have to call which you probably won’t.

    Lifetime's Raised Garden Beds are great
    These raised beds are terrific! I purchased two 3-packs and two single beds. My gardens grew beautifully. The beds are easy to put together and look nice in my yard.

    This is the 3rd yearly 3-pack of these garden boxes I've purchased from Home Depot as I replace the wood boxes I've built and bought over the years. They're easy to assemble (I staple chicken wire on the bottoms to frustrate the gophers) They don't lose water or rot and they last much longer than wood. I get great production by using these

    Best garden boxes around!
    Had these for years and they're still just as perfect as day one! I have 4 currently and will eventually take out my Cedar garden boxes for these!

      I have had an outdoor 12 x 12 garden for many years but the soil is not good and the critters seem to eat anything that does grow. I bought these raised bed gardens a couple weeks ago and finally had a chance this weekend to setup my garden. I bought two units so that I could have at least an 8 x 8 area to grow vegetables and herbs. The assembly took one hour per each. Then buying and filling with good dirt from Home Depot took another two hours. Planting took about an hour with seeds and starter plants. The units assembled easily and are light enough to move from the assembly ground to the garden. The instructions were all visual so there was a little bit of interpretation (I like both written and visual instructions). I did have to level the soil (which was noted in the instructions). I think the garden is beautiful now with these raised bed units.

        best square foot garden box available
        Had 3 of these at my old home. No deterioration in 3-4 years. Color still strong (dark grey). Construction solid. Use a lightweight medium to fill-if you use garden dirt sides may bulge a bit. You want a loose medium anyway for increased production. A very attractive box, even in it's "old" age! Just purchased two more for new home.

        Product fit our need
        The set up took a while because the pictures in the instruction sheets were not very clear. We managed to put them together by guessing. We could not figure out the purpose of the screws. The rhomboid smaller plastic kept getting dislodged. However, we are pleased with the final result and hope the beds will contain the soil and the plants therein.

        Great Purchase!
        We recently moved and put in a new garden. It is a wonderful product. We used them 2 high for ease of planting, weeding, etc. Very happy. Easy to put together and take apart. They could be used differently year to year if desired.

        Good way to Start Gardening
        I'm glad I chose this instead of trying to build a raised bed because it was very fast and easy to set up and the canopy allowed me to start some of the plants earlier in the spring when it was still frosty. I little warning though: even though it's an easy setup, read the instructions for installing the corner brackets and hardware BEFORE FILLING WITH DIRT otherwise you will be digging the dirt out later to install the hardware which is necessary for using the canopy.

        Overall, a great product
        Easy to assemble. Great quality. Would prefer if it were made with interior dimension of 48"x48" for true Square Foot Gardening. Bed is actually about 45"x45". Should last many years. Have not used the Tent Enclosure yet.

        Easy set up, attractive look
        Product was very easy to click together. I did not stack mine & I did not use the starter tent yet. Set up was about 10 minutes, not including positioning in the yard with weed barrier fabric. Neutral color looks good in our empty yard. The embossed wainscott pattern on the sides is nice looking. I rated slightly lower for value because I think they were alittle overpriced compared to making your own cedar beds. I used more than 8 cu feet of soil per bed....more 9 each.

        Excellent at the Price!
        I looked at many raised beds hoping to replace my rotting wood beds with something composite or plastic. The beds interlock at the corners in seconds, are very sturdy, great to look at and not too cumbersome to be moved around by one person during setup. I am very pleased with this purchase because the price was much less than most I researched and the "early start enclosure" was a great bonus feature. I hope to purchase more when I am ready to expand my garden.

        Excellent Customer Service!
        I purchased two sets of the raised garden beds, but unfortunately they were short a few clips to secure the stacked beds together. When I called the representative took all of my information and said they’d get them right out and I would have them in 4-7 business days, no problem!

        Big clips to stack the garden boxes.
        I called customer service today to get some of the bigger clips so I can stack my garden boxes. I had a few but not enough for all my boxes. The customer service person asked me how many I needed and I told him and he is sending me out what I asked for. The best part is they were FREE. Thanks very much Lifetime, great job!

        Love these
        These are easy to assemble. I now own 4. This year I was able to grow a nice sized harvest of potatoes for my husband and I in one and an abundance of tomatoes in another. Can’t wait until next season to plant the 2 I just received.

        Best raised beds available.
        We purchased Lifetime raised beds five years ago that are still intact and working well in our garden. We have tried other raised beds that failed after only a year another after two years (waisted money). These beds are durable and versatile.

        Extra parts for raised bed
        I lost some of the hardware parts that hold the raised bed together and all the parts that secure the enclosure (which I bought several years ago) - customer service sent me all the parts I needed quickly and free of charge. Great service!

          Fantastic customer service!! Great product!!
          I bought one set of the raised garden beds a year ago, and bought a second set about a month ago. They are easy to set up, easy to maintain, and look great in my yard!!!

            Very durable
            I love these beds, because I can either stack them to 18" for bigger plants or use them singly. They also hold up well to our extreme weather conditions, and the color is perfect for my needs too.
