Vego garden Raised Garden Bed Kits, 17" Tall 6 in 1 Modular Metal Raised Planter Bed for Vegetables Flowers Patio Ground Planter Box-Pearl White

It’s a good quality product. My kit was missing some of the bolts so I don’t have enough to assemble it. I also didn’t get the cross-brace. I bought a brand new kit so not sure why it was missing pieces. Still looks good overall and my mom was excited when I surprised her with it for her birthday.

We love our garden box! Easy to assemble, and we really love the color. Would absolutely repurchase.

After searching for a raised bed for a garden, I found these garden beds that are customizable. Their materials were the reason that I purchased 3 of them. I live in a high desert area and it snows in the winter. I can’t wait to begin my garden.

I have tried various other methods to have raised garden beds, mostly wood-based, but no matter what material I used (treated as well as cedar) they all eventually rot and need replacing. Now that I am in to my 70s, having to bend down, let alone get on my knees, to garden was no longer an option (I didn't like getting on my knees when I was a kid!). So I bought their tallest 3.5x3.5 model and I love it. Just the right height for me (6'3" - I have shrunk an inch as I aged). The panels come covered in a type of plastic sheeting to protect the outside of the panels. But, boy, is that plastic hard to remove. It isn't as easy as the plastic film you find covering plastic or glass surfaces to protect them from scratching that just lifts right off. Nope, this stuff has to be slowly peeled away from the panel. After getting it started on one edge, I eventually found the best way is to use both thumbs and push the plastic away from you, sort of rolling the plastic up as you go. The first panel took me about 20 minutes to remove the sheet (remember, the kit I bought has the tallest panels), gradually figuring out which was the best way to do it, but once I got that panel done, each succeeding panel took me less and less time and the last panel (there were 8), I had the process down to less than 5 minutes. Yes, putting the panels together, especially on this tall model, really does require two people. I managed to get it done by myself, but what a chore it was. Also, I started putting it together inside, attaching a straight panel to a curved panel (I created a square bed), I decided I'd better check the width of my exterior doors. Good thing, too, since my doors were an inch smaller than the narrowest dimension of the completed bed. So I finished the build outside on my deck and then carried the completed bed to where I wanted it. I used the carton the kit came in as a base, setting the bed on top of the unfolded box. The cardboard box was slightly larger than the 3.5x3.5 bed and after getting some compost inside the bed to keep it from moving, I used a utility knife to trim off the cardboard that stuck out from beneath the bed. It took over two dozen bags of compost, some were larger than others as I used different brands (I will warn you that Miracle Grow brand compost has a lot of sticks and stones and just doesn't seem as well composted as the other brands I used). That almost filled it, to about 6 inches from the top of the bed, but it has since settled and next year I will need to add several more bags of compost. Overall, I am very pleased with the bed itself. I found it very sturdy, it looks nice (love the dark green color I chose), and there have been no problems. There was no "blow-out" or panels bowing due to the weight of so much soil such as one comment noted. The 3.5x3.5 square seems really solid and sturdy; possibly creating other sizes with longer sides is what creates that problem.

Bought to replace my wood garden beds, quality exceptional and you won't be replacing every few years!
