I purchased several of these raised beds as the price was very competitive compared to other manufacturers beds and they all appeared to be of similar materials. The hardware is the part I am most apprehensive of, it's not galvanized and it's not stainless, hopefully it will last. The other thing that appeared to be different about the hardware that's supplied with these beds is that you get wing nuts instead of hex nuts. At first I thought that wing nuts would make things easier, but having assembled other raised beds that came with hex nuts I found hex nuts faster to work with and more easily tightened. To fully tighten the wing nuts beyond finger tight I used the jaws of an open end wrench. I suppose everyone will have their own ways of going about assembly. I started by completing the ends, fastening together two end panels with two corners attached. Then by attaching two longer side panels you make a squared off U shape that can stand on its own. I also found it less of a strain on my back and knees to assemble those sections on a raised work surface. I used a pallet lifted a few feet off of the ground with my tractor. DO BE CAREFUL, as warned in the packaging there are some sharp edges. The real test for these beds will come after a few seasons when I can see how well they hold up to the elements. But for now I am very happy with my purchase. *** I'd also like to compliment the support staff at Wayfair. One raised bed seemed to be stuck in shipment somewhere and I called for help and WoW! I was connected with an amazingly responsive, helpful, and friendly support person named Malak. I live in a rural area and rely on shopping online a lot. Another large online site was always my 'go to' online merchant but after this purchasing experience, receiving such wonderful customer support, and realizing what a huge variety of products are available from Wayfair, from now on I'll be a Wayfair customer. Bye bye Bezos Thank you Malak

Love this raised bed. Blends well with outdoors, inside white color helps keep plant roots cool in the hot summer.

It’s wonderful.
