Best Choice Products 48 x 24 x 30 Inches Raised Garden Bed, Elevated Wood Planter Box Stand for Backyard, Patio, Balcony with Bed Liner, 200 Pound Capacity - Natural

This is a great planter box. It was easy to assemble even if the diagrams and instructions were a little wonky at times. I filled it up with about 240 lbs of soil and it is holding well. It's a pretty sturdy box. Looking forward to seeing how long it will last. There are drainage holes, and I like how the bottom floor pieces have some space between them. It allows good air circulation and drainage.

Fitted together really easily, very sturdy when completed.Sealed the wood after assembly, the wood planter looks beautiful. Even before planting!!!

A handsome, functional structure once assembled. Everything is shipped in a long, flat, well padded box. Most of the pieces are stenciled with part numbers. All the hardware is in individual packets with coded numbers. The instruction manual is basic -- maybe too basic to be fully helpful. Lots of arrows and illustrations, not much text. The instructions say assembly should take 45 minutes. Maybe if you've put together one before that would be true. Took me twice that. I'd suggest pre-drilling holes before inserting screws. Makes the task much simpler. The end result is a sturdy planter cabinet at the right height with lots of room to plant.

Great! It’s pretty sturdy and my veggies are growing great! It was easy to set.

Very easy to put together by yourself. Be aware there is no liner so if you want one order/buy it separately and there is space between the slats for adequate drainage. It is also a good height (I’m 5’6) you don’t have to bend down and it’s very sturdy. It doesn’t have wheels so where you put it is where it’s going to be pretty much , but I bought another version of this from the same company but smaller and with wheels that works great. There is plenty of space I used 6 cubic feet of soil. Happy gardening!

Took longer to coat all the pieces than putting it together - putting it together took about half an hour. Suggest a rubber mallet, as the dovetail joints were snug - which is a GOOD thing. So, since I also own the "rustic" Gronomics elevated beds, thought I would comment on the similarities/differences. Both IMO are excellent products, and nicely allow you to simply put large potted plants out to serve as a screen without violating HOA rules - and, one day, I can take my trees and shrubs with me. It's also a great place to put house plants out for the season.To my surprise, the lining for this product is actually seamed and fitted, not just a swath of landscaping cloth like the Gronomics product - a nice surprise, even if it was a tad smelly. Overall, I'd say the same-sized Gronimics elevated bed is more "robust" tho I don't mean this is a flimsy product. The posts of the rustic Gronomics bed are thicker, heavier, and the top caps larger and screw in as opposed to pushing in with dowels. But the rustic Gronimics boards are "rough finished" while all of the Best Products boards were smooth, and nicely beveled. Actually, the Best Products elevated bed has tighter joins than the Gronomics beds I purchased. Both products I purchased need a coating of oil or some sort of weatherproofing, unless you want the wood to age fast. The cedar of the Best Choice product seemed softer than the Gronomics, and with both I had very minor splintering on a few board ends.At the moment I have 5 potted miniature citrus and two large potted hibiscus sitting in this elevated bed, and hope to make some wire arches and drape w. plastic so I can keep the citrus out longer as the weather cools, as the plants dislike coming indoors for the winter. As for this specific product, I'd buy again - it's very attractive - the color of the picture shown is pretty much what I received, and oiling the wood just made it look richer in color. In looking around, IMO the current price is very good and I'd buy another if I had room. Overall, I'd say the Gronomics product may be slightly more robust (and I do like the thicker posts and large wood caps of the Gronomics product) but can't say you'd go wrong purchasing this product either. Very happy with this purchase. Perhaps this product was imitating Gronomics or some other product, but if it's some sort of "knock-off" IMO it's a good one - sturdy, attractive, functional. And at the moment, an excellent price, as I'd seen Gronomics and other elevated beds sold as high as $300 online - worth shopping around!

Perfect for my herb garden. I found assembly directions clear and parts well marked.

I'm leaving a 3 star revoew because I bought two of these. The quality of the 1st is spot on. The quality of the 2nd - not so much.I bought the 1st one and loved it so much I bought a 2nd one two weeks later.I have used sealant on both to try to preserve the wood.Pros:Clear instructionsWent together quicklyEverything lined upGreat to go on the deckCons:2nd one: Wood was knottyScrews didn't want to go in due to the knotsThere was what im assuming is sap all over the piecesThe stickers labeling the pieces had fallen offOverall, I would recommend this. It is definitely cute and functional.
