Great garden bed. Instructions are vague as to the order of assembly and a bit tricky to assembly for one person because it's 4' x 8' (it's about 4" short of the 4x8 on both ends but still lots of room) but with a second person as extra set of hands, it went fairly quickly. The is contact paper is only on the outside of the panels. I suppose it's optional to remove but me being OCD, I removed it all. A bit time consuming but worth it. All the sides are 1 ft tall so the sides are two rows tall to get close to 2ft. Here's a tip to save you time... make sure the bottom of the top row panel overlaps on the outside of the top of the bottom row panel. Keep everything UNTIGHTENED until it's all together. Then go around and tighten it up. The rubber stripping is nice. It's snug and you get more than you need to be prepared to cut it to length. Consider wearing some kind of protective gloves so you don't get cut on the edges... I didn't wear any but I was diligent in handling the panels. Overall, great garden bed

This was just what I needed. I have three. It is very durable and holds a lot of plants. This was probably the easiest assembly of a raised bed I've put together this year. Wish I would have gotten one of these sooner. This raised bed gives plenty of space for growing vegetables. I planted tomatoes and peppers, and everything is thriving so far. The galvanized steel feels strong and durable. It holds soil well and doesn’t bend or warp. I am so pleased with it. The sturdiness, their quality, and the color. Even though I needed help with assembly, it was still very easy. I used a drill and the other tools it came with. I tightened everything up tight after it was put together. It does not rust at all. All of my friends and neighbors want this raised bed after seeing mine.

This came packaged nicely. I struggled a bit to put it together. Once I assembled it, I figured out how it was really supposed to go together. (The 4 corners house the sharp metal edge). It may have been a case of me trying to hard to adhere to the instructions. In the end though, it’s sturdy and looks nice. I look forward to planting in it when spring comes!

Received this raised metal bed for gardening. The metal is easily dented if you’re not careful like any aluminum sheeting which is expected. It came packaged well and had stakes to keep it grounded once in place. It also had two pairs of cotton gloves to protect your hands from being cut when assembling which was very helpful because those edges are super sharp. We can’t plant for another month in the Pacific Northwest. We placed it on hardware cloth so our little wildlife friends won’t be able to feast from the roots up and have a smorgasbord dinner at their convenience. I’ve follow many gardening sites online and they say to add your yard waste to the bottom of your beds before placing your soil as it is compost for your plants. So we raked all the leaves up in our yard from winter and are trying to see how that works. Overall I think it will work great. Can’t wait to plant some veggies. veggies. I’m

This raised garden bed is sturdy, easy to assemble, and looks great in the yard. The metal panels feel durable and the size is perfect for growing a variety of plants. The included supports add stability. Overall, a practical and attractive addition to any garden space.
