Best Choice Products8x2ft Outdoor Wooden Raised Garden Bed Planter for Vegetables, Grass, Lawn, Yard - Acorn Brown

I just started gardening and my husband bought me this for Mother’s Day and it fits perfectly along side my green house. My son was able to assemble it easily and it is sturdy. It takes about 4 bags of soil for each compartment. I already ordered another one so I can transfer the rest of the seedlings not shown. I still have a lot to learn but I am happy with these boxes for the price and functionality in the space that I have. The fabric bottom is nice too.

Great for the money and easy assemble.This thing was super cheap, so I wasn't expecting much. Putting it together was a breeze, which was nice. Honestly, it feels a little flimsy, but it works. It's definitely good enough for a beginner like me. I'd recommend it if you're just starting out and don't want to spend a lot.

Chipped pieces during assembly. Easy assembly, aside from pieces not aligning fully, product could be made sturdier for the pounding it takes to assemble. Other than that I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Absolutely love this planter. Thinking about adding on next year. Easy to ensemble I was able to put it together on my own as a petite woman. Good quality this picture was taken year 2 and still in great condition

Very nice! I painted mine black and place out front of my yard. Very easy to put together.

Love this planter. It was easy to assembly and sturdy. The depth is great for planting vegetables or flowers.

I prefer not to leave negative reviews. I'm this case, I decided it might be necessary.The wood was flimsy, which should have been my first red flag. But I didn't let it stop me from finishing the assembly.This box didn't last 6 months before it started to fall apart. Two corners came apart and the wood didn't hold together.It was a very disappointing experience, to say that least!

This planter made from real wood pieces looks nice once it is assembled. Unfortunately, due to poor quality control in manufacturing, it can be challenging to put together. Issues with the manufacturing include:- dovetail channels are not symmetric, meaning that the angle on each side of the channel is not the same. This is also true of the tabs at the end of the planks. Some of the boards can be 'matched up' with the channels so that they slide in easily, but not all - and none of them are marked to indicate which direction the board is intended to be facing when inserting into the posts.- the stained boards have globs of stain on the tab at the ends of the boards. This additional height of the stain globs interferes with the insertion to the dovetail channels on the posts. They have to be sanded off before attempting to insert the boards into the posts.- most of the boards are tight fitting, in part due to the issues above, and require a mallet to drive them in. However, be careful using the mallet as it can cause the post to become misaligned with the board while hammering - check the alignment often while tapping into place. DO NOT hammer on the boards. They are thin and will splinter. Hammer only on the posts (that is, if you even need to do this to drive the tabs into the channels).After carefully sanding down the tabs to remove the globs of stain and a bit of the material, the boards were able to slide into the channels - some easily, others with some tapping from a rubber mallet. The boards are only 9/16-inch thick, much narrower at the butt of the dovetail tab. Be careful if sanding or hammering as the tabs can easily break with too much force.Once it's finally together, the assembly holds well and looks nice. Time will tell how long the boards will hold up to the pressure of the soil in a filled planter. The kit includes a 2x8 sheet of weed barrier to help keep weeds from growing up through the open bottom of the planter.Despite the assembly issues, this planter could not have been made from store bought material for the price listed on Amazon. So I consider it a good value for a real wood raised bed planter.
