They look awesome!
Easy assembly. Some of the boards were cracked or had defects. I put them at the bottom. Overall, I love these garden beds! My gardens are beautiful and I love the size and ability to separate. Love so Much I bought 2!

    Decent for the price
    Here’s some Pros and Cons Pros > Price is very reasonable, especially for cedar > Easy to assemble > It is constructed in a way that allows for natural expansion and contraction Cons > Hard to move once assembled, the posts are routed out in a key way profile to receive the side pieces so they will just fall out the bottom if you try to move it. > Only 1x sides so they are very flimsy and will bow out

      Falling apart after 1 year
      I really wanted to like these beds. These were very easy to put together-I did it without any tools and on my own. They looked great for the first year. By year 2 several of the boards had warped and were pulling apart. Because of the cut on the edges they are not easily replaced, nor does there seem to be an easy fix. For my next beds I will just buy the lumber and build them myself.

        crap
        all dovetails off center and only 1 side cut you would be better off with 4×6×4's 4×4×4's and a bunch of deck screws

          I wanted to have a garden this year & need a raised box. I looked at this one, then priced lumber to build. While deciding, the price went up a little, but this kit was still cheaper than buying lumber at this time. I picked it up at the store, pretty heavy box, & purchased 24 bags of top soil & manure. Assembly was very easy! Went together with no issues & looks great in the yard! I actually have more room for extra plants next year!!

          Easy and Sturdy
          Put this together with my 4 year old son in about 30 minutes. Wife loves it and first perfectly in the back corner of our yard. Definitely recommend. We had it shipped as well and everything came in good shape.

              This was so easy to put together. I love that you can leave a short side off to easily fill with dirt. It has bowed a little on one of the long sides because I’m not using the center divider but otherwise it is holding up fine.

              Love this so product so much!! I ended up purchasing the same brand fencing to go around it. My husband was hesitant when I told him I wanted to put it in. But now that he has seen it and has seen the progress of my garden, he said we might add two or three next year!!

              Easy to assemble, looks great!
              I assembled this in under 20 minutes with time to spare to get my lasagna garden materials into it before the rain came. It went together easily, and with level ground, it filled in nicely. I now have a fully planted bed in under an hour. The only thing I wish is that I had more room in my yard to build three more!

                I have had this for 3 months and am happy with it. I purchased the 10.5 inch sides so it could be installed on a slope. It was easy to assemble and the divider keep it aligned. Wish they would include a second screw for the caps so they wouldn't turn.

                It was so easy to assemble! No problems. And it looks great. I bought two and set them up by myself. I planted loads of veggies. This project was a father’s Day gift for my son. He loves it.

                It was so simple to put together. No blemished or unusable pieces everything was perfect. it was really easy to vary the depth and sizes of the beds we wanted. We also were able to use the leftover pieces to build a compost pit. The only thing I wish is that it was easy to find additional individual pieces at Home Depot. I don't want to have to buy a whole new 80 square foot kit. Other than that the product is really really good.

                Do NOT waste your money on this cheap product. All dadoes split and I could not use any part of this junk. Light weight garbage. If I could give it a -5 I would because I cannot return it to get my $99 back. I would not even pay $9 for this.

                  Makes a nice raised garden bed, but the wood of the joiner pieces tend to split during assembly; it is a tight fit pushing the board through the joiner channel. Had to glue one back together again before I could finish assembling.

                  I ordered two of these raised bed planters. Because my garden has to be in my front yard I wanted something that would look nice. I have a huge island in the yard that has been empty for the past four years. The planters along with some small trees and bushes are going to look nice when I complete the project.

                  Very pleased with my Greene's 4 ft. x 8 ft. raised bed. The shipping was within a week which I thought was very quick. It was easy to assemble as I had it installed in about one hour. The tongue and groove cedar plants fit perfectly and slid in easily as long as I kept them level while sliding them into the corner posts. Before filling the raised bed, I lined the inside and bottoms of cedar with plastic sheeting to protect the wood and hopefully, get a few good years out of my vegetable garden. The raised bed took almost a cubic yard of compost/soil to about two inches from the top, then I surrounded the garden with 3ft high chicken wire to keep the critters honest . I placed eye hooks on the front to be able to access the bed. Veggies are now planted and I'm looking forward to my crop of toms, cukes, peppers and strawberrys this year.

                  I spent countless hours researching raised beds and reading customer reviews, taking into account the amount of space I wanted, the quality of the beds, the price, etc. I eventually chose the Tall Tier Dovetail raised beds and bought two. They aren't the fanciest raised beds, but for the quantity of growing space I got for the quality and price, I am extremely satisfied. They were easy to put together and the finished look is very nice. I stapled landscape fabric to the bottom of my beds to prevent soil loss (my beds are on top of concrete), and that has worked well; no soil escaping from in between the boards or from the bottom of the beds. The biggest concern I had came from reading reviews that stated the boxes were damaged during shipping, or the wood was of poor quality, or that the connectors cracked during construction. My boxes did arrive in terrible condition, they were torn open in spots and the lumbar was literally sticking out of the box. Thankfully, despite outward shipping damages, the beds arrived in good condition. It took two of us about 15min per set of raised beds to put together (watch you don't accidentally mix up the inside and outside connectors like we did!). None of my connectors cracked during construction like other reviews stated, but knowing this could be a problem I used a rubber mallet rather than a hammer. I think the biggest thing to keep in mind when buying these raised beds is the company's description of the wood, which is, "unfinished rough sawn cedar". If you're looking for soft-to-the-touch, thick, finished wood for your raised beds, then this is not it. The wood is rough and splintery, and it is somewhat thin, but that is part of what keeps the price point down. With that said, I still feel the quality is good and that these beds will last multiple growing seasons. Plus, having unfinished wood allows me to choose what kind of sealant I want to use, if any, as I don't want chemicals leaching into my veggies. Overall I'm quite happy with my beds and they more than suit my needs. Looking forward to years of tasty, homegrown veggies!
