They are exactly as advertised!!!

Overall this planter does the job for any small scale gardening. When the box arrived I actually thought I received the wrong product since it was so small, but upon opening I saw there’s just a lot of pieces to make it fit in a smaller box. I get it, shipping is costly. But that’s the reason for the 4 stars. Assembly is a pain. Not complicated, but time consuming for how small the unit is. As for the planter itself, it’s made of galvanized metal and sturdy enough after assembly. The shovel is a nice extra! I would recommend.

I've been in search of a raised bed for growing some garlic, so I was very excited for this delivery! The galvanized metal is quite sturdy, and the overall assembly process was surprisingly easy. Extra nuts and bolts were included. The pieces weren't needed but that was much appreciated, just in case. Can't wait to get some soil into this bed and start growing garlic right in my own backyard.

the planter is going to be a good addition to my vegetable garden. I plan to use it for planting potatoes in the spring. My soil is too compact and it is difficult to dig the grown potatoes. I will be able to plant in layers as the plants grow. This planter can also be used for other vegetables or flowers. The planter needs to be assembled with screws and wing nuts. Assembly was not difficult.

I’m really impressed with this raised garden bed! It feels much sturdier and heavier-duty than I expected, and I love the galvanized metal construction. It has a nice, clean look and I feel confident that it will hold up much better over time than a wooden garden bed. Assembly was surprisingly quick and easy. The panels went together with the included screws, and it was ready to go in just a few minutes. Once assembled, the oval shape gives it a really solid and stable feel, even before filling it with soil. I also really like the open-bottom design. It allows for proper drainage and gives the plants plenty of room for their roots to grow down into the soil instead of sitting in standing water. Overall, this is a great raised bed for the price. It's sturdy, attractive, easy to put together, and feels like it will last for years. Definitely happy with this purchase!
