Galvanized Raised Garden Bed with Legs, 48×24×32in Large Metal Elevated Raised Planter Box with Drainage Holes for Backyard, Patio, Balcony, 700lb Capacity

I usually go right to the rating reviews before investing in something of value and read some of the reviews. I normally start by reading some of the negative reviews and work my way up to the five stars before making the decision to purchase. Reviews are fickle and I incorporate that into my decision making process. In this case I found some of the one, two and three star reviews to be very interesting and ultimately comically entertaining. I guess a lot of people don't understand some of the very basic concepts of construction and physics. This is a very light and modestly designed raised planting bed and that is reflected in the affordable pricing. That's not a knock on this product but actually a reflection of its value. I said it's modestly designed not poorly designed. It's actually very well designed and that allows the light weight materials to function and intergrate well for it's intended purpose. That purpose would be to provide a raised garden bed for flowers and vegetables. It's designed to support the weight of your typical garden soil and the plants. Dirt is not the same as garden soil. If you are going to dig up some dirt or glacial till left over from the ice age and toss it in the bed you will most likely have issues. Dirt weights a magnitude more than garden soil as does concrete. So I wouldn't line the bottom with bricks (concrete) and you won't need to add any additional structural support or unattractive bracing. I didn't have any of the issues some people noted in their reviews regarding damage, missing holes etc. I have the capability to drill holes so it would have only been a modest setback during assembly anyway. I wouldn't lean on or place anything heavy on the top edges or it most likely will bend. Like I said it uses light weight materials. If you want higher quality materials you are assuredly going to pay much, much more for that privilege. Yep, instructions are lacking as in basically "none". They provide some basic diagrams but even they are lacking and there are no actual written instructions. I have confidence you'll be able to figure it out. Use the pictures on Amazon and zoom in closely to address any details you need clarified. All things considered, the wife and I are ecstatic with are acquisition and feel we made a good investment.

It is roomy and fits well in limited space. I love it. However it was harder to assemble than the smaller ones.

Looks great in yard and works nicely for my herbs. Had to put more support on legs for they bent a little after moving to another position in yard. All in all good for money!

I have the larger one too. Its a very nice planter for a small garden.

Very nice item. Easy to assemble.

Very, very poor directions. Pictures only, no written directions. The material is flimsy and hard to handle. A lot of the holes don't line up. We have taken it apart several times and still can't get the legs level. In doing so we broke some of the bolts and caps. We can't return it since we opened it and tried to use it. We are trying to rig it somehow to get it level. I would NOT buy from this company again!!!

This has been working out well, planted some strawberry plants and they seem to be happy. The garden bed is sturdy and is currently holding 3 large bags of soil.

A few positives and a few negatives. 1. Positives: love the look, size and price (only used it for one season so far). 2. Negatives: like some of the other reviews, unfortunately the legs are pretty WEAK. They hold dirt well but we tried to move one planter slightly and the leg started to bend. Recommend adding additional support to the legs. Overall I like this product but i would not order again. We added additional support to the legs so it will work but not ideal.

I had high hopes based on reviews, however, the metal is so thin and flimsy. Also came bent/damaged right out of the box.
