I purchased four of these to go in my front yard, with that I was concerned about appearance. I have received many compliments. I put them together myself and it wasn't difficult and pretty much self-explanatory. The wood is a little fragile and I had to glue one of the corners back together but I don't think it affected the integrity much. The company would have sent out a replacement but I didn't want to wait on it. Some of the boards had gaps between them but the soil has not seeped out.

Great garden option
Just put it in this year, so we'll see how it holds up, but went together easily and looks great. Always nice to have more growing room.

So Easy
This was extremely easy to assemble. Great price, too. I got the two 4x4 beds assembled in 15 min. Would definitely recommend.

Good kit, with exception
The kit was easy to assemble, and everything was of good quality, with one exception. One of the corner blocks was cracked and the corner fell off. We were able to reverse the block and use it, so functionally, it was fine. We re-attached the corner with a couple of screws, and, in the end, it was barely noticeable. The cedar is rough cut and one piece was not square, so it took some wrangling to get everything level. We put that piece on the top and were able to get it down to a minimal gap between the boards. Filled it with potting mix/garden soil, and had no problems. All in all, I would have rated it 5 stars if not for the minor problems with the corner post and plank.

this product was easy to put together
my raised garden looks nice in my backyard and will help me have the "small" garden that I desire. It is easy to reach in from both sides. I am anxious for my garden to grow.

Great planter
I bought two of these planters to use in my garden. For some reason I have a lot of wild rabbits roaming my yard and chewing up all my fruits and veggies. I bought these to help keep them out. It doesn't really work but the raised beds are pretty to look at and they're easy to maintain.
The wood in this yet is really rough compared to other sets I purchased. This bed is really easy to put together and fill. Just wear gloves when you put it together so that you don't get splinters. Also, the second box that I purchased was missing two of the top caps. It's not a big deal to me but it might be to some.
