Why did you pick this product vs others?:
My husband assembled this in about 45 minutes.? Directions are clear and easy to follow.? Took more potting soil than I expected but looks great on my porch.??
K C. –
If you want a raised bed this is the company you should buy from. I have never come across another company like this one. There customer support did a great job. They were fast to reply , stood behind there product and were kind and understanding. We had a problem with putting it together, later we found out it was a user issue not the company. They sent us a new one quickly. If I ever need another one this is the company I would buy from. I totally trust them.
Great Job

Nice size, although I wish it was a bit sturdier. It serves it’s purpose though, my scallions and chives are doing well in it and it looks nice. It’s a good thing I don’t plan on moving it around much as I’m not certain the handle could take it with the weight of the plants and dirt, but overall I’m happy with it.
Ray –
Light weight, easy assembly and mobile. I got this for my mom’s back patio. It is perfect size for a small garden for her. It let’s her still garden with out getting on the ground.

Purchased Spring 2024, review is fall 2024. 4-star is for my concern for longevity. Legs could be more stout or maybe provide some bracing. The floor bowed a little when I filled it with soil and I’m not sure it will last me more than a few seasons.

Makes gardening easier. Good quality, easy build (Assembly)
Cecilia Pagaduan –
I have it on the patio and plan to grow herbs for cooking. I like the size and the wheels. I can roll it to other places on the patio. Good buy.
Philip L –
These are just what I needed on my porch! They are strong and sturdy and large enough that I am able to grow a variety of herbs. I purchased two more and will try veggies this fall. I don’t think they are deep enough for corn, tomatoes, etc but should be great things like lettuce, beets, beans and smaller carrots. (l live in Florida and our growing seasons are different). I have back problems and these are so helpful because I don’t have to bend over. I did drill more small drain holes and lined the bottom with garden fabric to keep soil from washing out. My friend assembled them and said it took him about 30 minutes. They are light enough to move into position easily before you add the soil.
Joec –
Had some difficulty putting it together but I finished it is prefect for planting tomatoes on my deck

Painted finish looks good. More than enough screws and nuts to complete the job
Customer –
This is a very well built raised garden bed. Easy to put together and very sturdy. I had one problem with it but had good communication with the company and they made it right.
DestinyMasters –
Nice planter. Easy enough to put together; super simple for two people, little challenge for one person. All parts were there. No scratches, etc. It seems sturdy. Only today did we get a few lettuce starts in it so we¡¯ll see how it lasts outside. I meant to line the bottom with some sticks and leaves but totally forgot. It does have decent drainage holes in the center though. The fact that it has wheels will help as the weather heats up and the full sun gets too hot. This planter easily held 5 buttercrunch lettuce starts and should be fine as they mature. Gave 4 vs 5 stars because of the putting together with one person issue.
Douglas Witherington –
This thing is way better than the ones made of wood
Stephanie Ascencio –
Instructions were not included, but there are not too many pieces to fit them together and guess. I fastened only a top and bottom screw to secure the shape. Used warm water to make the pads more flexible to install. It took me about an hour to assemble.
Faith.Hope.Love1313 –
I love these planters! I decided to do my garden on my back deck this year and it has been a huge success! They are fairly easy to put together. The tools that come with it to put it together honestly take way too much time. I would pull out your wrench set and screw gun and get adaptable bits so that it will go way faster. After I did that it was a much more pleasurable because I had five of them to put together. I would highly recommend lining them with some weed barrier or some other type of thing like that because there are gaps between the steel and they do leak a little bit more than I would like but if you line then you will be really happy with the results. I love that they have wheels on them so I can move them around and even put them in the garage over the winter if I need to. These have been perfect for doing an outdoor garden on my back deck. And they are heavy when you put the soil and everything in them to move but not unbearable.
R. H. –
Good quality and appearance! Unfortunately, mine did not come with directions, and I could not find any online. I figured it out, but putting it together was a lot harder than it should have been.
Update: after writing the above review, the seller reached out to me. They sent me a pdf of the directions and refunded me part of my total for the inconvenience. Amazing customer service, so I gave them a star back! ??
Raymond E. Russell –
We have our courtyard re-sealed and had to move 5 of these raised beds. There are very heavy and if you are not careful the legs will buckle. The legs need to be stronger.
Noreen –
If you like a garden but don’t want all the work this is perfect for a very small veggie plants. So glad I purchased this.

It is good for what I got it for. It helps to have someone to help when assembling it.
PennyB –
This planter is amazing. I’m 71 yo and put it together with no issues at all. Compliments to the manufacturer on their instructions. This is the 1st time in years that directions made sense! I built it in about 45 minutes. All parts were included. The toughest part was tightening all the nuts. I haven’t used it yet but it looks great and is exactly as described.
Angie –
On a overall the like this item and will purchase again.
Mrs. G –
Love this!! Bought it to keep the slugs and snails out!!!
SeriousReader –
The bed is great no complaints but the legs are a bit not so good. I had to place stone pavers under them to keep from sinking into the ground. The legs are too narrow and sink during very heavy rain, but I’m using them just wanted to let folks know in case they don’t have a patio or other hard surface to place them on. Other than that I like them.

Great product. Best to have two people to put it together but is sturdy and looks great. Perfect height.
paul a. zimmermann –
Nice cart and east to assemble . Works great !
Nick –
This Raised garden bed is great for us. Getting on in years, we can’t kneel and bend so well. This is the perfect height. BUT it lost a point for not giving instructions on how to put it together. I originally had to take it apart because I had put a piece on backwards. Anyone reading this, check out a video by “Kelly Henrichen : Perfect Raised Garden Beds”. .It’s in the above product Discription. But even she made a mistake and corrected it..lol
Really ,How hard would it have been to include Instructions?
Michelle Mongaraz Johnson –
Excellent price and great product. Easy to assemble

Part didn¡¯t work properly. Seller sent full refund for the item.
AP Chicago –
This is the third raised garden bed I¡¯ve purchased. I plant a lot of herbs and these work very well for that.
I like that I can move the garden bed using the handle and the back two posts are on wheels. I haven¡¯t had any issues, even with my older ones. The only thing that I¡¯d keep in mind is to not plant anything requiring deep root space. If I had room on my deck, I¡¯d probably order another.
I recommend these planters.

Handy and sturdy garden box. Easy construction. Shelf underneath holds garden supplies well.
Raquel Gonzales –
More heavy duty than I expected. Relatively easy to put together (don¡¯t depend on instructions, they are quite minimal). I am using this for potted plants. I couldn¡¯t imagine the larger being strong if filled completely with dirt (I think it would be entirely to heavy for the legs) but for what I¡¯m using it for it¡¯s perfect. Would buy again.

Nice simple raised bed. Easy to assemble.

The product is enough for any planting project,it’s above the ground very convenient for watering,not pending down ,only my concern is the life of the sheet metal how long going to last against rust .
Customer –
It went together easily once we figured out how to put together. sturdiness is on hold until we fill with dirt and plants. Seems to be flimsy and not sure how much it will hold.
Suetta –
It¡¯s not as sturdy as I had hoped but I¡¯m sure it will suffice. I included pictures of the build so that, if like me, you thought the pieces would overlap, I wanted to show that they do not. I am not ¡°building¡± inclined. I needed help understanding how it went together on the first one (I bought 2). The second one I did myself and it took about an hour.
Stefunny –
Good height and sturdiness. The instructions weren’t the best but intuition kicked in. I live in AZ and they get hot. Line with cardboard. You cannot move alone after soil has been deposited.
MagicMo32 –
Love this! It was a perfect size for my herb garden. Easy to put together and very sturdy. Looks beautiful and very spacious for my herbs. Great but! I am happy with this purchase!
Kindle Customer –
This is a bit flimsy and it is hard to move even tho it has wheels!!! I am afraid it may fall apart when I move it!!!
Was easy to put together and the depth is good!!
Eaze –
I recommend this garden bed.
Better quality than other ones I have ordered although this costs 2X more, worth it (keep in mind, I have not added soil & begin planting yet). If other colors ever drop in price I may consider buying more.
***My 1st garden bed arrived w/ a defective base panel not having enough holes to finalize the assembly, so it hangs w/o having screws for the supportive connections needed at the corners to make this a functioning item¡ªseller answered promptly (next day) and resolved my issues quickly & I really appreciate that.
I was disappointed upon receiving a defective part because I had been anticipating to receive this product & even assembled it immediately before discovering the defect¡ªfor a higher priced garden bed, it should have better quality control standards. If it was not for AMZ¡¯s accommodating return policy, I would have felt more hesitant to order another.***
*Seller¡¯s Customer Service: 10/10 for responsiveness & helped to resolve my concerns w/o wasting anyone¡¯s time
*Assembly: 10/10
I did not need to refer to the manual, guesswork will do. Straight to the point.
-1 person ok (30 min)¡ªbut needs moderate strength to do this successfully as it may be heavy & requires a bit more creativity within your space since you only have two hands
-2 persons ideal (my guess is 10-15 minutes)
-Literally hand tighten each screw and bolt through all the holes 1st before going over it again to tighten using a manual screwdriver
-Heaviest piece = Base panel
-Cut all plastics using scissor before unwrapping¡ªhelps minimize plastic residue
***Assembly Tip:
*Screw legs to the short panels then connect to only 1 long panel (at this point you have 3 walls), leave the other long panel for the final step
*Next, insert base panel & screw the corners to each of the 4 legs
(Base is a bit heavy to maintain balance during the assembly, so you may need extra hand / a chair to support it below in case it falls & scratches the other pieces)
*Finally, connect the remaining long wall panel to finalize the assembly
*Tighten all screws once more w/ screwdriver
*Attractiveness: 9/10
-Would be 10 if base panel had matching color to the rest of the body, BUT it will be covered by soil, although visible from exterior view, not a deal breaker though
-Glossy, smooth, simple
*Sturdy: 8/10
-I have not put soil into it yet to know
-Base panel is heaviest piece of the set, but held together by corner screws which may be 4 screws total
My concern is if these screws will maintain the base long term after placing heavy soil into it
*Quality of parts: 8/10
-Screws are made of good quality, does not look / feel like cheap ones I¡¯ve experienced from other brands
-Panels are sturdy, weighted, no sharp edges, smooth
-Quality control (on the other hand) needs improvement since my product arrived defective from manufacturer
-Paint did not have any strong noticeable smell
-Other reviewers were right, the plastic wrap seemed like it melted into the legs & very difficult to remove, I may use a strong solvent but take caution if you try too since it is painted you might make it worse¡ªnot a deal breaker for me anyhow
*Functionality: 9/10
-Would prefer to have wheels & handle bar as it is a large & bulky garden bed
-Ideal for gardeners who need large surface area to grow various plants/large plants
-Water will exit along the 4 sides of the base panel (Recommend buying a fabric barrier before adding soil¡ªHome Depot has plenty)
*Value:
In my opinion, price is fair for the material quality.
But overall for the simplicity in its design & lack of quality control, ~$80 is more reasonable.
$100 is still ok if you¡¯re lucky w/o defective parts.
$150 over is too expensive unless it had wheels or handlebars or any other accessories for the gardener.

Easy to put together and sturdy.

Easy to assemble- did by myself & I’m over 60 & tool handicapped. Looks sturdy but time will tell. Will update review after I fill with plants & dirt to see if it still stands up. Needed something that was easy to move around depending on weather. This appears to be just what I wanted.

Very sturdy and looks like picture
brandee c. –
Sturdiness is good the size is great for deck or in my case my porch garden. I was able to assemble this easily and in about 30-45 mins. Has great drainage and i like that it has wheels too! Lil rack on the bottom too for storage! I like that i can garden up off the ground because in my neighborhood we have stray cats and i just couldn¡¯t do the in ground garden due to them using it as a cat box. So this is a great option up high enough off the ground to keep the garden safe. Great buy!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:
Easily assembled, adequate depth easily repositioned when weather requires it. Came with a minor bend in lower shelf grid, but doesn’t affect use. Time will tell how the fares for first planting season.
Customer –
I have high hopes for these, with my modifications. They were easy enough to assemble, even with the minimal instructions. I had my doubts about the sturdiness of the legs, so I reinforced them with 2×2 wood. I also added 2 1″ drain holes and used a flange normally for swamp coolers to reinforce the hole and prevent sharp edges at the cut. Also, the flange has threads underneath to attach a garden hose to redirect the drainage. I then added screen over the drain holes as well as a long the ends inside to prevent loss of soil through the corrugated ripples. Hopefully these will hold up to vegetable plants and not just herbs and flowers. Worth a try to save bending over!

This thing is wonderful! Perfect for a herb garden. So easy to put together. Just remember do not tighten bolts until all bolts are in place. Two old ladies assembled it without any issues. Holds places in decent amount of soil. My plants are so happy.Love the wheels!
Rachel Foutch –
This garden bed is exactly as described. My one complaint is that when putting it together it had instructions that weren¡¯t always quite clear. I will note that it would be easier to have a second person to help you put this together, however, I am not completely capable of doing a lot of things, and was able to do this myself. I loved this raised garden bed so much I bought a second one. It is a handy way to bring my plants inside every night from the cold and wheel them outside in the morning for the sun and heat!
JAG51 –
Nice size. Easy to put together, but there are many nuts and bolts. Wheels are ok. Metal is a little flimsy. The bottom shelf just sits there, it is not bolted down. We sprayed the inside with a spray sealer to try and preserve it from rusting for a few years. It looks cute on our patio with red flowers in it.
JEAN GUMINA –
This was easy to assemble and can be moved around easily if high winds, extensive heat or rain is expected.

This was so easy to put together myself.
It’s great for my small flower garden and looks really nice, not cheap.

Easy to assemble and looks great on my deck. Perfect for a little garden of kitchen herbs.

So far so good but man it¡¯s hard to assemble without instructions. The picture they provide is pretty much useless.
Bonnie –
I bought two and been using them, full of soil for 3 months now. The design is perfect. Good drainage and sturdy. Better than what I expected at the low cost.
Customer –
Perfect for my backyard veggie garden. Easy setup and is holding up!! The design helps the soil drain really well it not only has 5 drainage holes at the center but the sides are not water tight so water can flow through there making it perfect to avoid overwatering and when heavy rains come through. Just know that means underneath you¡¯re going to have ¡°dirty¡± water so make sure to locate it somewhere you don¡¯t mind getting wet underneath, including the tools you put on the shelf. The wheels do make it easy to move around to follow the sun as the seasons change which I really appreciate.
Customer –
Perfect for what I needed it for planted all my herbs in it and it¡¯s a pretty decent quality not hard to put together but definitely pay attention and look at instructions as it¡¯s easy to put together wrong if you don¡¯t
Kristen –
This was perfect
Brenda Himelspach –
Love this. It is light weight until you put your soil in it. Well made. It’s large enough. But the instructions suck That’s because there are no instructions just a diagram of all the pieces and a picture of it put together. My spouse figured it out but when I was looking at the picture, I couldn’t figure it out. I don’t have that type of mind. I need instructions. Even a tube would have been good if they had one. That is why I give it a 4 star instead of a 5 star.
Angela D –
Love these. Bought one for my elderly dad as he can¡¯t get down to the ground to garden anymore. They look nice and work great. He liked it so much I bought him another, and will likely buy more.
Patti Pangborn –
I love this planter!
Assembly directions were unclear and a bit difficult, but once it was together I¡¯m really happy with it.
Works beautifully on my patio filled with tomatoes, herbs & flowers. I did line it before adding the soil. I recommend it!
Angel –
Personally, I’m happy with that.My husband thinks it’s extremely overpriced for what we get.He thinks he can get the sheet metal and make it himself for much cheaper. Assembly was a bit of a pain as the instructions are extremely limited. There are no written instructions just a lot of images. Which would be simple except for the fact that the images are not exactly clear as what you’re supposed to be doing so we were guessing half the time. It took two people about two hours to put it And the edges are extremely sharp so please be careful when putting it together. It’s pretty sturdy when put together.And I love that it’s a deeper than most planners While still being lightweight.
Jude –
My current raised flower box is on its last legs. ?Only the frame is metal the bed is fabric. ?So I have been looking for a replacement. ?I ordered this and I put it together by myself (74 year old not fit woman) with only what was in the box. ?It didn’t take long and it came out stunning. ?I am really impressed with it. ?I am storing it in my garage until next year as I don’t have room for it on the patio unless I move all of the plants etc from my existing one and put this in its place. ?I will wait until the fall and during clean up I’ll dispose of the old one and in the spring I’ll move the this one out and begin using it.

Great quality, all Hardware was included! Bought three.
Fred –
The concept is sound as is the design, but the single sheet of parts checklist and very rudimentary drawings made assembly much more confusing than it should have been! It was obvious just checking the parts against the parts list and sketches that you are pretty much on your own. The photos at the webpage were far more helpful than the single sheet was. I hate to keep beefing about this, but a simple step by step assembly guide would have been helpful. This is not a complicated garden bed and is fairly straightforward to put together, however I suspect people who garden but do not have any mechanical background could be quite confused.
That all said, as I stated initially, this is a sound concept and design. I will paint the completed raised bed inside before filling with prepared soil to try to get more lifetime out of it. Galvanized steel is somewhat resistant to corrosion, but constant contact with damp soil will eventually cause rusting. I will probably paint the interior with some heavy duty enamel or a Rust-Oleum product and devise a liner by re-purposing and old pool liner or heavy rubber tarp like those used used on trucks. I will add some half-inch vinyl tubing to direct water out the bottom from the devised liner. Or caulk around the liner places and bottom drain holes where i punch holes in the liner for drainage.
Because a raised bed like this can absorb a lot of heat from sunshine, I will either cover the exterior with pine boards attached with spacers to allow an air gap to avoid direct transfer of that heat into the raised bed or arrange for shading that exterior wall. In the past we have used large containers on top of a large 30″ tall table for an ad hoc elevated planter and used pieces of slate to shield the containers from the Sun with some space between the slate slabs and the containers for airflow. That method is easier to do than attaching a wooden exterior.
As for stability, the components seem string enough to function well. The only other customization will be to devise a fabric screening cover, but that part is easy.
We live at a high elevation and our growing season is relatively short, so it is not possible to use this for this season, but we have about 2.5 months before the first frost to provision everything to be ready for spring planting next year.

Perfect for herb gardens. I get so many compliments about it’s design and construction. It blows my friends and families minds that; as a disabled ole’ lady, I was able to put it together myself. “Just followed the instructions…” lol

Easy to put together. Metal is quite thin/flimsy, but seems to be holding up so far. I’m a little worried it will rust, but we shall see. The bottom shelf and wheels are nice. It’s very light weight without the dirt. We’ll see how well it performs.
Customer –
Perfect for my herbs. Very happy with my purchase
Sue –
I actually took this a step further and made a greenhouse out of the planter. Just a few simple 1″x1″ by 2′ tall boards held together by other boards cut to size. Add a little plastic for the sides. Make a topper with remaining boards and plastic and the pests and birds can no longer ruin my garden. Thank you.
Susan Klinger –
Had to hire someone to put it together for me. I couldn’t figure out what was first step. Looks good now that my helper figured it out. Numbered steps/ instructions would help for senior citizens like me.
Richard Brunk –
After looking at store displays for similar products, I ordered two of these for less than one of what looked pretty flimsy at the store. The first took about 35 minutes to assemble and the second less than 20 minutes. While light enough to move around easily, they seem sturdy and look great. They would work as a drink cooler. I think I’ll get 4 to 6 good size vegetable plants in each, maybe more. It will be easy to put a bucket under the central drainage holes to catch excess water, since I have them on a wooden deck. I am looking forward to not having to bend to tend the plants and to not have plants in reach of “critters”. I am very pleased as the quality is better than I expected.
Cole –
So far so good, but already noticing rusting on the lower shelf. Hoping it stays isolated there…
Leesy –
I do like this only reason for a 4 star is that its a little difficult for 1 person to put together. It is sturdy after you put the dirt in
Terri G. –
Surprisingly roomy! Am looking forward to placing these planters in my garden however am disappointed that there were no drainage holes!!! Am recruiting a neighbor to drill the all importance drainage holes in the planter base.

My strawberries and herbs do really well in these raised garden beds, and the birds and groundhogs do not bother them because they are up higher (granted, they are further off limits on our deck). We love that they are easy to maneuver and drain well.

I can¡¯t give this five stars because I¡¯ve that one little screw (see pics) that the hole wasn¡¯t drilled properly. Screw goes in about 1/2 way. If I could give 4.999 stars I would! This went together quite easily and as you can see in second pic it¡¯s ready for plants/veggies!
mrc7915 –
This went together relatively easily, and I was able to do it with a broken leg and the help of a 13 year old (which was at times a questionable decision.) The pieces on their own are pretty flimsy and did get slightly bent in shipping, however once assembled it seems quite secure. Some of the screws and bolts do not fit together well, but they provide a lot of extras to choose from. We have just filled it with dirt, and haven’t potted anything yet, but the dirt filled bed looks nice.

Well built and looks great also. I used this on my front deck and I love the way it looks. Very nice product. Would buy again.
kim –
Works well on the deck
Customer –
I really like it and for the price it was good. There were a few bumps in the panels. And the instructions could be better.
Dan Erie –
Once I figured out how to put things together with the first one the second one was easy. The assembly instructions are non existent other than a parts list.
Rosalind –
This is a very nice raised metal bed. It has drainage areas and is quite sturdy. I plan to plant some peppers in it and not sure what else. Makes a very nice garden area for someone who can’t dig a garden area in the ground any more. Very pleased with my purchase.
P Brown –
Well made and easy to put together
Marysu –
It is a nice container for the price. Have not put soil in it yet to check capacity. But looking forward to planting garden needs in it this year once our snow melts.
Kori Bean –
We love it and have ordered another one!
Wayne –
The units were easy to install perfect height, especially for someone with bad knees the one improvement that could be done to make the bottom stronger so it doesn¡¯t buckle on the Load besides that it¡¯s a great item may order more
DONNA BAKER –
So far, so good. Assembly instructions were clear, easy to understand. Fits our space perfectly. The reason I gave 4 stars is I¡¯m interested how that will make through a Kentucky winter. Rust?
Linda Kerxton –
I chose this item for my garden.i want to plant herbs in it along with some flowers.
The raised bed was easy to put together and seems very sturdy. I liked the pictures I n the instructions. They were very clear and easy to follow.
The hardest thing was figuring out how to put it together by myself.
I played the pieces on the floor and put it together that way. I didn’t stand it up until I put the bottom into the raised bed garden.?
It looks great and was a good prce .
I liked that it has wheels and a handle making it easy to move around.?
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
I chose it because of the wheels a n d handle which make it easy to move around.
J –
Never got it.
Bob –
When I added dirt into the container the the bottom started to bow downward I don’t know if this is intended for drainage but I have not planted anything yet and have not added water which I would think will increase the weight we will see how it fairs, more to come
ALM –
Good buy for the price. The legs are fragile so make sure the planter is on level and hard ground before filling with dirt.
DC-M –
I recently got it installed in my back yard. I¡¯m going to start out slow with a limited number of items. It appears to be well made and true to size. I¡¯m looking forward to my first garden or flower bed.
Denise Mackler –
Love this! I planted seeds for an herb garden and everything is growing well. I love the fact that there are wheels.
Customer –
It went together easily and seems to be of good quality.
Chris in Virginia –
Okay, not bad. Planter went together well and all the parts fit properly. Recommend a spare pair of hands during certain portions of the assembly. Other than the wheel axles all the bolts and nuts are the same and that helps. If the wife wants another I’ll easily go for this product.
J&S –
Great little garden. The upper part is well made and sturdy, but the legs are very thin, weak, and will bend and fold on you if you’re not very careful. The shiny metal is beautiful. Once it’s setup, not easy to move because of the legs.
linda o –
Better than expected. Very attractive. Got 2. 2nd went together faster. Dont tighten it all up until all pieces are together
Gerald A. Dixon, Jr. –
Great
DintheD –
I read a couple reviews talking about the instructions not being detailed enough. My response to that is what instructions? Mine came without instructions. Luckily it’s fairly obvious how it goes together, at least to me.
Edlow Jones –
Great materials that it was made with but only came with pictures of parts and a part list. No instructions! Had to assemble and then unassemble to figure out how to get side pieces to fit the right way. But I like it!
Kelly Watters –
Bought this for my mother for her birthday. It was easy to put together, very sturdy and his the perfect size for her to plant cucumbers and peppers. Metal/aluminum framing retained water well she want¡¯s to buy another one.
Kathy Humes –
It was pretty easy to but together. Nice quality. Heavier than I thought it would be.
Dorothy Logan –
Larger than expected. Easy to assemble good quality
Gary Egerer –
Easy to assemble. Decent size, though I worry about the legs sinking into the ground. Made with all corrugated material, the sides are clad with black, in my case. Fairly attractive. The bottom does not have any holes, but that is easily remedied. I left it, as is, to try it
dca –
Seems like it will do the job
lilcoupon –
I got the black color. It’s a nice size for my back patio. It’s not planting season where I live so I don’t know how it will hold up. I like posting pictures as products progress so will be updating often throughout the season. At this point in time it is sturdy and took about half an hour for both myself and my husband working together.
Jessica V –
I bought two of these for my mom to make gardening easier for her since she started having mobility issues. It¡¯s perfect. She can sit beside them and tend to her plants with ease
Christopher True –
So I bought 2 the first one went together with no issues. Not chincy but also not heavy duty. The 2nd one has stripped threads in the axle. This required me to use vice grips to hold the axle in place while trying to tighten screw as must as possible. This scratched the coating and I expect it to start rusting there. I would still buy again at the price.
yourchefkathy –
I was able to assemble the planter by myself. The directions aren¡¯t very helpful. I chose the black one but wish I had picked a lighter color because the exterior gets very hot. I live in AZ.
Rebecca J –
I put it together by myself. It is the perfect height and a great size!!!!
Gail I. –
The instructions for assembly are worthless. Thank you to Rhubarb and P. Watson, reviewers, for your suggestions on assembly. I have not yet filled it with dirt but so far this raised bed is exactly what I wanted and appears to be very sturdy.
John Nooney –
instructions were bad
but the product is exactly what I wanted
AMG –
Used this for herbs amd my daughter was about to use her on ther apartment balcony for veggies. Easy to assemble.
Rower –
I was happy to find this planter, which is nice and big and accommodates lots of plants. The planter is very attractive and we opted to get the brown colored one which matches our condo.
Easy to assemble as everything lines up very nicely. It took about 3 hours to assemble.
Unfortunately, assembly instructions weren’t included, so I emailed the company asking for instructions. They immediately responded with the instructions.
Joe Cristalli –
I like this product and it was easy to put together. However, it did not have a liner even though the video shows that it comes with one. I’m not sure why they show it in video but doesn’t ship with one.
#1shopper –
Perfect. ..thank you
Customer –
Obsessed for my tiny garden. This planter assembles quickly and easily. One can do it but a second set of hands helps. It¡¯s easy to move and fits quite a bit. I can¡¯t wait to see how my plants grow.
Darlene Loiler –
Holds up well to weather.
Vgirl –
I love this raised bed. It’s huge. The length is one thing, but the width is longer than expected. I knew the measurements, but it’s different when you have it in front of you. You can easily fit 4 cucumber or tomato plants in it. Maybe 2 squash type plants. the height is perfect. I do container gardening and am getting a little older, so bending down to tend to the plants in a pot on the ground have become one of my least favorite things. The height on this planter is perfect. The only thing I would suggest is that you line it before filling it. Since there are seams, a little soil can seep out at the folds of the planter Maybe not so much after the soil is dampened (Its only January, so I just filled it with the soil from my old pots in readiness for sping, I did not water the soil)
At first, I thought the metal would not be aesthetically pleasing, but it looks great.
Franklin –
It was quite a challenge for the family to put it together, but it was worth it. It’s spacious enough for all our edible plants, and it’s also made of good material…
Liz B –
Love this raised garden. Be sure to get the liner that fits perfectly and you will have the best little garden.
Sarah Geringer –
This raised bed is ideal for people who have a hard time stooping or squatting. It is simple to assemble and easy to place wherever is most convenient for you. It is durable and attractive, and it is ready for your creative uses.
Sherhone Grant –
I absolute love this it was the best!! Not easy to build. Definitely not intuitive but it was really great once built.
Rosalie Moyer –
Lightweight, portable, easy to put together!!
Abby B –
I love this! I have a bad back and purchased this hoping it would be easier to plant & enjoy my flowers. It’s just perfect and looks beautiful on my balcony plus since raised, the flowers get more sun.
Jessica Tynanes-Nakasone –
Assembly went smoothly and it¡¯s cute for its price as well.
Tammara –
This planter is exactly as pictured and easy to put together yourself. I love it!
ilktkm –
It was simple to put together. It holds many bags of soil. I was worried about how it would support all the weight. The middle legs seem a little small for all the weight. It does seem to be sturdy after filling it. Water will drain out the sides around the bottom panels. Good quality material.
Maureen Winberg –
Easy to assemble and very nice
E Brown –
Perfect! Great price. Easy to assemble. Lightweight and sturdy. Attractive. Comes with a liner that drops in, no measuring or cutting.
Jean-Paul Gleeson –
A little bit hard to build but a solid buy
Jp –
Easy to assemble. Love the height.. no bending over to plant. Solid material. Its larger in person. Great for my herbs. So far working great!
Lynne –
The ¡°plug¡± that was supposed to be present for assembly¡ª-was missing. Otherwise is sweet, attractive, and I planted my herbs to have near the house
Niki Peterson –
Nice little raised bed. Came with a few minor scratches & plastic wrap that was melted on to a leg. Easy to put together.
Stacy Porter –
Shipped quickly, very sturdy, looks just like the photo. Easy to put together. We love them!
Michael B. –
Good product but no drainage holes. Had to drill them myself.
Deb Davis –
Just the right size for starting new plants. Easy to put together and durable.
M. Schmit –
The lack of any instructions .. just a parts list make the assembly of an 8 foot unit problematic. There is a very different configuration on the bottom panels. The end pieces are angled and the centerpieces are flush and if you screw up like I did when you first started off, you have to take it all apart and start over again so again the end pieces are angled the centerpieces are flush, and the other major thing they do not tell you is that you must slightly overlap the pieces and join them and we found that the screws that they provided for the bottom were not sufficient to join them so we had to purchase additional screws about 1 inch long to get it to fit properly video is attached!
Starwars217 –
I bought two of these, and had no issues assembling them. I’m pretty used to putting things together, so I wasn’t daunted by the number of reviews that stated there were no instructions. There is an assembly diagram that I thought made perfect sense, and didn’t run into any issues during assembly. Yes, they can be a bit wobbly before all the legs and side panels are assembled, but it wasn’t a problem.
The nature of the corrugated steel bottom and sides ensure great drainage. I do have some concerns about rust at some point…but so far in the last two weeks, they are still rust free. Fingers crossed.
Once filled with soil, they are very sturdy, and solid. Very happy with the purchase.

This item is well made and was very easy to assemble. My wife is using it for herbs and loves it. It is a perfect height for her.?
Jerry C. –
this item is sturdy easily moved easy to water your plants and is galvanized as advertised and is silver .i love this planter.
Sarita Loves Living –
It’s not quite time to start an outdoor garden in my region but so far this looks well made. It looks attractive and I think It will be perfect to use in my garden this year. I will have to update this review once it’s been in use long enough.
Romulus Kohbiashi –
This was easy to put together and it works perfectly.
If I worry about the deer eating the veggies I can just roll it into the garage at night.
The rolling feature is a huge plus!
TracyH –
The instructions are not good for this. I figured it out, but I had to redo a couple parts because they would not fit together. It looks nice, but it very thin material. I don’t know how well it will hold up against Wisconsin weather.
jen –
Was easy to put together and fill with dirt and garden soil. Size is perfect for small garden. I absolutely love. Only problem was the drainage, I had to drill some small holes on the bottom.
Netochka Nezvanova –
My main issue with this product is that I don’t think the price is in keeping with the quality. There were some issues getting things to really fit together during assembly, and some design choices that I felt were a bit strange ¡ª?more details on this listed below. But all things considered, I am glad I did get this raised flower bed because, uneggspectedly, it’s turning out to be great as a chick brooder box. I lined the interior bottom with thin plywood, and built a little frame around it with some scrap wood I had, to which I added some window screen material, and voila, brooder box that stands at about waist level (for me at least). It’s very ergonomic and much nicer to clean / maintain than a cage / pen on the floor, so I’d imagine that it would have also served very nicely as an herb garden planter which was my original intended use.
Now for the bits that cost it one star:
? Construction ¡ª slight inconsistencies, making it finicky to assemble
? Drainage ¡ª?no drainage holes and I fear I might cause rust if I drill through the coated metal
? End cap on vertical pieces ¡ª? the plastic pieces are kind of flimsy and tend to fall off, the tiny surface area of the end of the feet also makes it liable to dig into and sink into ground if you have it set on dirt.
Patrick Osborne –
Easy assy and very sturdy.
bbeck –
Color is great, size is good and sturdy. Bit of a pain to put together but good item
Dimplesforyou –
I like the product so far. I have a bad back and it hurts to bend. This is right at my level.
Miss Lynn –
I have had this for about a month now and I love it. I use it for a lettuce planet. Great height and easy to put together. Keeps the critters out and looks nice in our yard
rose –
I am super excited with this planter/raised bed! It seems to be well made and sturdy. Hubby thought it was easy to assemble. I thought it was really cute and loved that I could wheel it into the greenhouse or back outside depending on weather, etc. especially for the transitional spring weather. It is great for herbs, spinach, lettuce, definitely flowers, etc. I would recommend this planter.
Received product damaged outside & inside packaging was crushed & the product was scratched & the pedestal had a large dent –
Built well & clear directions assemble?
Good value?
Nancy Watras –
This raised garden bed is awesome.
It was fairly easy to put together and I can move it around easy
Love the way it looks
Angie P. –
I couldn¡¯t be happier with it. The sturdy design and quality material make it both durable and attractive on my porch. Assembly was straightforward, and the structure feels strong enough to last for many seasons. The depth and size provide plenty of room for my strawberries to thrive, and the raised height makes planting and maintenance much easier on my back. It also gives the garden a neat, organized look. Overall, this raised metal bed has exceeded my expectations and has quickly become one of my favorite additions to the garden.
Vicki McQuillen –
My husband ordered 3 of these for me due to my back issues making it difficult to care for a normal garden. They were pretty easy to put together, seem made well and look nice too. So much easier for me to enjoy some gardening!
Gigi –
Easy to assemble,good quality

This is perfect for my vegetables, getting a second one for more vegetables.
JD squared –
Decent
JB –
I thought as I was finishing assembly, I’m glad I bought this product. It seems to be sturdy enough. A long term review would involve putting in the dirt, water and plants, and seeing how it holds up. So, I don’t know yet. At this point it looks nice and I expect it to look even better with flowers.
A couple of assembly tips. I began assembly and then saw how the handle went on, so I got to remove four nuts and bolts and then redo it. That was my fault. The instructions are clear, much better than some of the tiny print and small diagram stuff sent with some products. But I do think the wheel assembly could have been the last step instead of the first. The cart wouldn’t have rolled around during assembly.
Kirt –
Purchased the unpainted version as we live in the desert/max sun……surprised regarding quality and fitful the price. Seems very sturdy and easy to assemble……surprised it’s from China.as well. We will see how it holds up in the desert.
Lizadoliddle –
So easy to set up and will be perfect for my salad mix
margaret Deuel –
I love to have flowers and this raised garden bed is easy to use and if you want to you can move it anywhere!
Kurtis Hamm –
I suggest the galvanized brown, so your flowers will be more noticeable. The packaging unfortunately is adhesive Saran wrap, which is extremely difficult to remove even with a hair dryer or acetone. I recommend the manufacturer to consider alternative packaging such as cardboard. Once assembled it’s very sturdy. Be sure to place on your deck before adding topsoil and mulch. It is very heavy to move after your finished planting your annuals or perennials.
A Don –
Very easy assembly. Good product at a great price. Also giving seller a five star for communication.
Lea Ann –
Some of the edges were bent due to lack of padding in the box and there aren¡¯t any drainage holes, except the small gaps on the ends. But other than that, it seems like it will be a good garden bed for veggies, herbs or flowers!
Bobbi Jo –
Perfect size, sturdy, rolls well and good quality for the price
Edwin Davila –
My wife loved it. The start to her gardening hobby
Tanika Watson –
I like this raised bed just wish it was a bit deeper in depth.
Sonia Betsworth –
First time gardening, love the container.
Troy –
Packaging is a little deceiving, but once opened and inspected the materials are well cut, drilled and aligned. The instructions are all pictures with one critical safety measure about sharp edges, recommend gloves for sure. I have included some pictures the main points that I want to share is put the plastic caps on the feet and top of the leg first, the tolerances are tight, I used a soft mallet and it took some good hits to get them to seat correctly. The fasteners are the weak link, you really can¡¯t torque on the head without it giving out, extra fasteners are included. The unit is firm on the concrete but some strong base is needed, I plan on drilling each leg and using some type of weight to keep is down. I would recommend this product and after this first grow season might purchase additional units. Overall measurement inside length 47 inches, inside width 24 inches and height is 32 inches.

Customer –
Great item. Instructions were non existent. I can deal with pictures for instructions, but these were essentially drawings of the parts. Absolutely worthless. Hint: Attach the legs to the bottom piece first. A little clumsy until you get a couple of sides on, but it works. (That¡¯s really all they had to say in the instructions.)

Perfect design for my deck and reviews mention great quality for price
Ian C –
Reasonable cart for herb garden – I took one star off because the bottom is tapered with only 4 drainage holes – needs a rock bed inside to fully drain…
Tulsa Mimaw –
The description says “drainage holes” but the bottom has NO drainage holes. I contacted the seller and they replied that it is a “bottomless planter” when in fact I purchased the raised bed planter. Something gets lost in translation. Install instructions were only a parts list but they say they have now corrected that –
Angela s –
I only put 4 stars because the directions are not clear to understand overall happy

I got this for my mom for her 74th birthday! It was very easy to put together and very sturdy. She loves it.
Paul Mayer –
Well made product very sturdy, easy assembly, there is some very sharp edges to beware of, don’t forget a liner is a MUST to hold the dirt back after watering.
Ann Behling –
This is a fabulous unit. Easy to move around (when empty of course). Attractive. The only drawback is it doesn’t contain instructions. I did a search under the reviews using the keyword “video”, and watched the assembly video put together by the reviewer named G. Soots. It was a lifesaver. I was able to put it together on my own in 30 mins. I’m very happy with it.
Milo –
You need to follow the sun..
Great price point!
Great drainage!
Easy build!
Sent one to my sister in law but worried she may not have the upper body strength to move it.
Only two wheels.

Should be placed where you want to before you fill it. It is difficult to move

Very good product easy to assemble very happy with it
Hollienicole –
Instructions could be a whole lot better!! I had to go back more than once because once I saw it coming together I realized something wasn¡¯t right¡but once I finally got it put together I really like it. I have my herbs growing in there, and it¡¯s sturdy enough to roll it around and bring it under shelter when needed.
Giovanni –
The bolts were really cross threaded and had to be forced But!! Other than that these are amazing I bought two !! And were simple to put together !
Christina Taylor –
Can¡¯t wait to plant. Easy to assemble and very sturdy.

A lot of nuts and bolts, came out beautiful, no more bending over.
Marc Zenovich –
It took some time to put together, but once completed it works well in the garden.
This product meets my expectations.
MARK R –
I am happy with this product except it arrived in gray and I requested white. My husband put it together while I was at work (trying to be helpful) so I can not return it. Slightly disapointing because I wont be able to use it in its intended location. I do wish it was in white. I would have even preferred the black over the gray. It shows now that the white is out of stock on the order site.
Db –
These galvanized raised planter beds are nicely constructed takes about 30 minutes to put together, if you are experienced 2 with a motorized screw gun. Many separate pieces. I would have liked the planting area to be at least 6 inches deeper. Ive only had them for a couple of months so time will tell how the plants do. You loose some space so that the soil doesn’t float away when watering. The drain wholes are built into the design, very helpful for the health of the plants.
Cm –
We have a lot of gophers so above ground gardening is the way to go. My son and I put this together pretty easily. I read some reviews where people complained of bowing after adding the soil. We used above ground garden bed soil and didn¡¯t have any issues. Love the height, no bending over to tend to the plants. And it is has a good amount of depth. As far as looks I prefer wood, but purchased this for the price and durability. Our seedlings are sprouting and seem to be thriving in their little home. I considering purchasing a few more
Customer –
Easy to put together. Read the instructions first before starting and organize everything in order and it goes by so quickly. I can see where some people have water leaking out from the sides and corners. I¡¯m going to have that issue too but it¡¯s just more drainage so that¡¯s alright. That¡¯s why I rated this 4 stars. It¡¯s a good height and easy to move around. Seems decently sturdy and I really like the color. It¡¯s also a good depth, that plant in the picture is inside a 2.7gal pot until I can move it.
T –
Had a small issue with one of the legs, so I emailed the seller. They responded almost immediately and offered to replace the entire thing for free. They were incredibly helpful and committed to customer satisfaction. The box itself is great, lightweight but sturdy and mobile if I want to move it. Good height and color too. Definitely worth the money

¡°We did it!¡± Is what we said after over an hour of struggling to get it together. We then realized that people posted tutorials IN the reviews- which I suggest you watch before you attempt to tackle this directionless project. All in all, we¡¯re happy with it. Now we can sit back, relax and watch our garden grow.
Robert G –
Upon opening the package, I noticed that the corner of several pieces were bent in. There was no protection in the box other than some plastic wrap. Packing with more cushioning would’ve been better. These corners are sharp and I had to use gloves to prevent from getting cut. I tried hammering them back out with little success. These ended up being exposed on the inside bottom corner of the planter, so I’ll have to be careful if I’m digging my hand around in dirt.
There is a single page that includes a parts list and a diagram to show what parts go where, but no step by step instructions for what to do first and how things fit together. I was able to figure it out and put it together by myself in about 30 minutes with a screw driver.
There are no drainage holes for water to escape. Some could probably go out of the bottom corners, but I doubt all water could easily work its way there. I will likely drill out some extra holes before filling with dirt.
So far (empty), the unit seems relatively stable. I’ll update if needed after filling with a lot of dirt and seeing how everything is structured. I feel that a lower leg brace around the unit would be beneficial, but we’ll see.
Overall, it’s a decent unit for the price, but not extraordinarily good.
Nicole Kelso –
Easy to put together and it looks really great. I bought it to hold my strawberries while I moved my fruit bed, but I think I will keep it on the back patio.
lizaMerceoniu –
My little garden is doing so well in these.

If this went back down to the sale price I wouldget another one but since you have to assemble them yourself,the cost should be down. Item is sturdy,and holding up fine to fifty pounds of topsoil.

Easy to assemble; good height
Brennan D. –
This galvanized raised garden bed is perfect for small gardening projects. The legs elevate the bed, which makes tending to plants easier, and the drainage holes ensure that there¡¯s no waterlogging. Assembly was quick and straightforward, and the galvanized metal feels sturdy and long-lasting. The elevated design also helps keep critters away from the plants. It¡¯s the ideal size for herbs, small veggies, or flowers, and it fits well in both small backyards and patios. I¡¯m really pleased with the quality and functionality.
Customer –
This was purchased as a gift. It worked well for the person I bought it for.
Customer –
Somewhat easy to put together. Edges are sharp. Instructions were easy to follow. Planted veggies in it and was a good height at waist level. Built pretty good was much sturdier once the soil was placed in it.
Customer –
Looks great! easy to use put together
Robert –
Sturdy for growing vegetables drains well without getting on your knees
CJ –
Pro: only one size screw(s) & nut(s) to use, very good quality of material(s), very good value for the money, overall weight is very good – not light, but not to heavy either.
Con: this is the reason it didn’t get a 5 star rating; no instructions on how to assemble the product (in either of the 4 boxes that came). It would have been a nice touch to know where to start, as the bottom panel frames have corners cut off the one end. The middle section was a touch awkward to get together, but it is very do able.
Overall: Very solid purchase – would highly recommend.
Joseph J. Betz –
We’ll be using this inside to overwinter some of our indoor plants that get taken out for a walk in summer. Maybe next summer we’ll use it outside, and I’ll be able to tell you about its weather-resistent properties, if any. But for now it’s an indoor plant shelf with wheels.
It will accommodate large plants, get them off the floor and is sturdy enough that I’m not worried that the big cacti are going to tax its weight capacity or tip it over. But you can already see what it is, so let’s talk about the unpacking / assembly experience.
First, get your vacuum ready, the Styrofoam surrounding the parts in the box will probably be banged up in shipping, so there will be some escapees.
All parts and tools you need to assemble the unit are included, but you’ll do better with the axle/wheel assembly if you have either a 19mm socket or an adjustable wrench. Stop nuts on both ends need to be tightened onto a shaft that will not hold still, and even with a very strong grip you won’t be able to stop it from spinning once you get to the nylon locking part of the nut. So the one flat disposable wrench provided will not get the job done, you’ll need something to hold the other end.
The instructions are comprehensible and it all goes together rather quickly as long as you follow the directions.
The two dings that knock it down to a four-star are:
– One of the panels arrived with a minor dent. Not a deal-breaker, it’s a plant cart, not a DIY Bugatti.
– There are rubber grommets to put into the five drain holes in the top compartment, and they fit sloppily. They will probably not just fall out of the holes, but the fit is sloppy. Again, not the end of the world, I could just as easily live without the rubber grommets. But if you have, say, a 13mm hole, give me the grommet for a 13mm hole, not the one for a 12mm hole.
Would recommend to the manufacturer to charge an extra dollar and replace the Styrofoam packing materials with a better foam, like the foam used to separate the part on the inside.
Would I buy another? Sure, if she needs another.
By the way, I’ll be throwing a boot tray under it this winter. Since there are drain holes (and should be), I expect any time you miss while watering, you’ll have water dripping straight down from the middle of the unit.

Looks and feels sturdy, and it¡¯s a good size for the price. One call out is about the axel. It does not taper at the end as per instructions. It sits against the leg and doesn¡¯t pass through. To assemble, a long screw goes through the wheel, through the leg, and into the axel. I would think if the axel was tapered at the end and went through the leg, it would provide extra support overall. I was also concerned that the wheel would rub against the leg and cause unnecessary scraping and scratches. But there seems to be enough of a gap between the wheel and the leg, that this shouldn¡¯t happen. Time will tell. As of now, I¡¯m happy with the purchase.

Very happy with this raised garden! A little extra effort to assemble, but well worth it. All my plants have doubled in size in one week. Nice drainage, and I think it¡¯s quite attractive!

I bought this a year ago and while true, no instructions were included, it wasn’t terribly difficult to figure out. My complaint is that it’s rusting. The inside, on all 4 panels below the dirt line is rusting. But I’m buying 2 more and am going to spray them with Flex Seal. I’ll see how that works. I don’t think these are of any cheaper quality than most that you can buy these days. Granddaughters are excited about another year of ‘gardening’.
UPDATE: This will be the last time I can use this one. The bottom has rusted out and is just about to fall to the ground. Got 2 seasons out of it and we live in a really temperate climate, no extreme highs, rarely gets below freezing, so weather is not a factor (rainfall is also low). I did get 2 more, and did spray them with FlexSeal and they are holding up better.

Sturdy and easy to put together. Looks just like the picture

Absolutely love it!! Fairly easy to put together once you figure it out. Directions don’t help much I actually looked up the item to see what it looked like to figure it out. Only hard part was getting both screws through hole for support legs where both pieces come together. I put mine on 4 inch bricks in the grass and it is the perfect height. Definitely recommend!! I’m going to order another one.

We bought this to grow a few of our favorite veggies. It is perfect size for our small backyard. The assembly was a breeze but you will need two people. Now we’re all set to grow.

I still like this product even after my experience. I have 4 units. Cyantor sent replacement unit as one box came opened and missing parts. I assembled all correctly and then put into my garden house. When I loaded with dirt I noticed bottom bowing in the middle and I did not even add water. I’m concerned. I decided to remove all dirt and buy fill bags so the weight can be reduced. I had to install 2×4 wood under the middle of the units to keep from bowing. These are great but be VERY careful when filling with dirt. Dirt can weigh up to 70 to 80 lbs per square foot. In addition, when filling unit with soil, the soil spills out from the sides. My own remedy was to install metal window screen fabric, folded into the corners, that helped.

Exactly what I was looking for. Plenty of space to plant a nice assortment of herbs. Easy to assemble and very sturdy. I can easily move it to different locations in the yard for optimal sun exposure. Good height for tending and keeping away from the rabbits.

This is a great planter and very comparable to one one from a well-known Garden Supply place that is twice as much. Maybe not in as pretty of a color but just as good. I also found it very easy to put together as a single female.

I like this raised vege bed. It cames well packed. Once it is assembled, it looks pretty good and sturdy. However, I really have to complain that there is no instruction on assembling. You have to be handy to figure it out yourself. Two people working together can make the thing easier. I put three of them all by myself. It took me about three hours. The first one really took me a while since there was no instruction. After that I did much faster. The tricky part is put on the middle legs to join the bottom parts and side fences together. You might need extra hands for that. I removed one star for that.
Rodney S. –
When I filled it with soil the center dropped down in the middle. Instructions were very bad, but we figured it out. I would recommend this planter.

Love this!! It¡¯s perfect to grow different lettuces

That’s a lot of pressure on the legs…
They’re too flimsy with all that weight once you fill it with topsoil.
Mine sunk into the ground and the legs started to buckle.
Make sure you put it on some patio stones or something to spread out the wieght.
I didn’t. It never occurred covered to me to do so…
I had to jack it up and stack retaining wall stones under the sides to support the weight. Cinder block6 might have been better but I used what I had on hand.
I still might buy again now that I know what I’m doing.
But if you’re not sure: you should consider a planter without legs. And building a solid elevated platform for it to sit on. Or just put it on the ground.

Easy to put together and sturdy. Liked the first one so well I bought another.

I ordered one last year to try it out. I found it easy to assemble, a perfect height, and easily handled 4 bags of soil. Throughout our growing season, I grew lettuce, onions, beets, celery, spinach, kale, carrots, peas, marigolds, and zucchini in it. My elderly father in-law admired it so much, he asked me to order four more for him!
Don Johnson –
It’s great

Needs more soil than a person thinks deeper than it appears.
Cory –
Did t think they were deep enough for my tomatoes but peppers seem to like them .
Larry Shadron –
Well made and not hard to assemble.
Lynn E Maylone –
These were not easy to assemble. Could be that it was done by two 70 year old females! But once done, they appear to be quite sturdy.

I was able to put this above ground planter together in about 2 hours yesterday. Today I finished up tightening up all of the bolts. I am 80 years old and it was fairly easy for me to put together by myself. I feel it’s very high quality metal and it went together smoothly very well the holes all lined up for me there was plenty of the bolts used I had one extra one. I’m very happy I got this and I’m anxious to get some vegetables growing in it. I highly recommend anyone to buy this if they’re looking for a quality product. I’m going to try to add a couple of pictures for you to see what a lovely planter it turned out to be the gray is a very nice subtle Gray. I’m going to submit this first because last time I lost my whole thing because I tried to put pictures in here in it I don’t know what happened anyway I think putting this planter together was easier than trying to write this review. Anyway buy it you’ll love it!!!

This is a sturdy planter that moves easily wherever I need to put it for the best sun. We bought two and put peppers and herbs in them to start. Well worth the money; easy to assemble, looks great in the garden and we look forward to many vegetables, herbs and flowers to come!
Gabrielle M. Abbate –
Sturdy and easy enough to assemble. Had to realign some screw holes but fortunately have the tools that allowed us to do that.
Afton S. –
The quality far exceeds the price of this outdoor cart and planter! The assembly directions were very easy to follow and the company even included extra nuts and bolts along with tips on how to care for the item if any issues should occur. With the quality wheels and easy mobility, I¡¯m happy I can bring this inside during the winter months. I plan to buy for future gifts for friends and family and maybe even another for myself. Don¡¯t hesitate to buy this item!

I am satisfied with the product¡¯s design concept and materials, but the workmanship is truly unacceptable. The hole positions on the iron plate do not align with those on the frame, causing a layer of paint to be scraped off during the first installation attempt. Later, I found the misalignment was too significant, so I had to drill new holes myself to complete the installation. However, this greatly increases the risk of rusting.

You can try to assemble by yourself but really need two people to avoid injury with the sharp edges. Use a mallet to tamp down the rubber covers for the legs. Lots of screws to put together. Overall a nice looking raised garden bed with legs to get some height and you won¡¯t have to bend over to garden.

I have purchased 5 of these. 4 as gifts. They are sturdy, easy and quick to assemble and attractive.

This planter box is perfect. It is sleek, sturdy, and functional. Easy to roll and reach everything as it is raised. We have a small garden in it currently and I¡¯m thinking of buying another one.

I really like this product. I purchased this garden bed in July of this year to place on my patio. I have planted in this garden bed, cucumbers, squash and zucchini all at the same time. This garden bed is big enough for all those items. I like the fact that this garden bed has wheels on one end of it. I can easy roll it around on my patio. Also, there are drainage holes at the bottom of the garden bed. I filled this garden bed with 2 and half 1 litter bags of organic garden bed soil. This item was easy to put together. I did it by myself. The instructions were very easy to understand.
Amy Zeilinga –
I bought five of these to start my home garden. These are the perfect height, sturdy, and well crafted. I do wish that the legs were a little bit thicker without the hard plastic for the ends, and that there are drainage holes towards the middle.
Samantha Schacht –
Mailed me the wrong color and one of the wheels won¡¯t screw in all the way
Damien R. –
Works excellent, would consider adding supports to bottom so they find break if moving.

Well structured..quality workmanship

Love it!! Easy assembly and sturdy! I want another!!

Easy to assemble, good value for the $ and as described. Very light weight and easy to move about.
J L –
So the planter itself is pretty nice and large. Sturdy enough even filled. The assembly was a bit of a pain, but not un accomplishable, lone star off for that. I did have to get creative, use a drill to widen some holes, etc. Wasn’t that bad for me honestly, but, I went into this expecting that, as I’ve put together a few of these in my time. I love them for the garden, and it was totally worth it.

Packaged well. Wife loves it.
