Customer Reviews for Greenes Fence 4 ft. x 8 ft. x 10.5 in. Original Cedar Raised Garden Bed

Good price, and easy to assemble!!

Purchased a house with this exact bed in the yard. Imagine our surprise when, wanting to expand our growing space, we found the same kit available at our local Home Depot! Super easy to assemble, no tools required. And because it is modular, we were able to modify the heights of each bed and even use the extra boards to extend the old beds! The old bed must be at least 5 years old and still going strong. You can order individual pieces from the manufacturer’s website to customize as you see fit!

Unfortunately I was not happy at all with the quality of the material. Main issue is that the wood came with a black lumber yard stamps on the finished side of the wood slats. It looks really ugly, and is not at all as advertise. In addition one of the boards came cracked. Would not recommend this product

The beds looks very nice and we’re easy to assemble but the quality of the wood is very cheap. The pieces splinter and break very easily. Some of the wood is discolored looking very grey and has stamps on it from the warehouse.

Easy to put together, if I get a few years out if it worth the money. Lined it with garden bed fabric. Using for flowers not sure if it would be deep enough for vegetables. Really no tools needed everything slides into place through slots at corner pieces. Only need drill to screw on the corner caps.

Super easy to assemble. We ordered 4 and stacked 2 sets to make two deeper beds. Have not filled with dirt yet but seems like they are going to work great! Only complaint is they are very splintery. Best assembled wearing garden gloves. (The inside and corner posts are worst. It won’t be dangerous once filled.) Otherwise, very happy with these.

Very easy to put together. Spacious room for garden. LOL - Kitties love it as a playground as well. Will be glad when veggies take over. Looking good so far.

We bought these kits and they only lasted about 3 years. They rot! The end caps or the edges of the board rot so they don’t stay together.

This is the perfect container for small spaces! Our garden has been awesone this year with so many fresh vegetables!

It was easy to assemble this cedar 2x8 raised bed kit by Greenes Fence. I stripped away grass underneath, layed landscaping fabric that also lined the sides. Filled with a mix of garden soil, potting soil and compost, then planted perennials. The bed looks great. I can't predict longevity, but vs the cost and labor of building a raised bed from scratch, this cedar kit is well worth it. Note: Some minor whittling may be needed on edges, and pieces need to be perfectly vertical to fit together.

Easy to assemble. Missing one out of 4 tops to the posts. Not a critical component so i just left them all off.

Great Garden Bed! Very easy to assemble. Highly recommend!

While it's easy to put together, the middle post broke after just one season.

Easy assembly, looks nice & clean, just the right height and width. The reason for 4 stars is the quality of the lumber and the black stamp found on half of the boards. Many of the boards were roughly cut and over half had black stamp on them (which we sanded off).

Basic build, quality, good value for the price. Easy to assemble.

The raised bed was easy to assemble and is functional. However, that is the best I can say about it. The wood planks were only smooth on one side, so you only have one option of what to put on the outside. However, the smooth side still has the stamp on several of the planks so if you want a raised bed you can display from all 4 sides this is not the bed for you. Also, the corner posts have not been sanded down and have shards of wood chipping off them. One plank also split as i was putting it together, which is odd since I wasn't putting strain on them. It's still usable. But still disappointing. It's wood, untreated, and it works, I guess. But if you're expecting a nice, clean looking raised bed that's going to be attractive in your yard this isn't the one to go with, unfortunately. The square tops you're supposed to screw on to the top to "finish" the box are also not smoothly sanded and the screw will be visible. I haven't put them on yet.

I am happy with the portion of the raised bed I did receive but it was very expensive for only half the size posted. It's not the best quality bed but it serves its purpose.

I bought two of these and both came with 6” rather than 12” posts! The boards are warped so dirt would fall out between them even if I could could get them set up somehow with two 6” posts (they sent me 12 six inch posts instead of 6 twelve-inch posts in both kits). Total waste of $300!

Overall, good quality and easy to assemble. Annoyed that all the wood has logos on it when none of the other reviews or stock photos show this issue.

We bought this last year to give the kids something to do during the pandemic. We were not sure how well it would hold up in the GA weather(we get a LOT of rain where we live) but a year later and it is still in as good of shape as it was the day we bought it. We have planted our garden for this year and cannot wait to reap the harvest.

Recieved a while ago but just tried putting it together today. Assembly is pretty easy. Got it mostly put together in under 10 minutes only to realize they sent the wrong size and it’s missing 3 boards. Not impressed.

It was super easy to assemble, the boards slipped right in the corner grooves and wood looks rustic for an informal setting. I lined it with plastic so the soil wouldn't leak through. Looks just like image. I may get another one!

I purchased 2 of these and couldn't be happier. They were as easy to assemble as described. They made a beautiful raised bed around a tree in my front lawn at my cottage. I'll be buying more to create the gardens surrounding my deck.

Easy to assemble, exactly what i was looking for. Fits enough vegetables for my needs. Tall enough to remove any weeds that might sneak in without hurting my back. Great for keeping my dog from running through my garden!

Very easy to assemble. I added a fence to keep animals from eating my plants.

This Greene’s fence was pretty easy to put together. We did have to sand some of the dove-tailed corners as they we’re pretty tough and wouldn’t slide together easily. They were easy to sand and then five-tailed nicely. They are great for making a controlled raised bed

Easy to put together and compact enough to use in small spaces.

We put the bed together this past week and it assembled easily. I am not convinced it will last more than a year or two because the wood is thin. Some of the dove joints were splintered and I feel like they will break fairly soon. Was it worth the price? I am going to say it was because I needed to go from traditional row gardening to raised bed gardening rather quickly and it was what was available. It is cute and I am going to enjoy it for as long as it lasts.

Perfect product. Couldn’t have been easier to set up. My 7 year old could’ve done it himself.
