Best Choice Products 8x4x2ft Outdoor Metal Raised Garden Bed, Deep Root Planter Box for Vegetables, Flowers, Herbs, and Succulents w/ 478 Gallon Capacity - Gray

Excellent for the price.Very easy to assemble! Box was heavy but manageable (I can lift 50 lbs). We assembled it in the garage and then carried it and place it in the garden spot. Two adults needed to move it because it’s large and wobbly, not heavy.Beige color is a bit more yellow than I expected, but meets my aesthetic needs.Followed an online video of how to layer. Used firewood, cardboard, and branches for the bottom. Then about 38 cu ft of garden soil. Glad to have found some 1 cu ft bags on sale for $4 at the local Ace and mixed in about 12 cu ft of a higher cost soul.I squeezed a lot of plants in and hope it’s enough room for them.5 varieties of tomatoes4 varieties of small peppers2 chives2 fennel2 basil1 parsley1 scalloped squashAbout 6 onion bulbs scattered along the edges

Pretty happy with this overall. It’s a solid raised bed and holds a ton of soil – definitely enough space for all the veggies and herbs I wanted to plant. Looks nice in the yard too.Only thing is, putting it together was kind of a pain. Not super difficult, just time-consuming with all the pieces. But once it’s done, it feels sturdy and well-made. Glad I got it.

It’s huge! Good huge, it’s really deep and my tomatoes, okras and eggplant thrived!Though it took some time to put together it is easy enough for me to do it alone, it might take less time if I got help. The middle brace can be improved, it is on the flimsy side but I guess it is enough to pull the long sides together. The rubber parts to place on top can be omitted or improved since it always got out of place.Overall I am satisfied.

Yeah, lots of bolts, but it goes together easily. Plenty sturdy, looks good.

These are extremely well-made raised planters! Nice heavy duty steel, re-enforcement braces top and bottom in four locations. The powder coated paint will last for many, many years. When assembled, they are very sturdy! It took me about three hours to put each one together. I will not lie to you, it is very tedious work with a lot of bending, kneeling, and crouching to get the unit assembled with 112 bolts and wing nuts each. The actual assembly itself is very simple and straight forward. My wife and I are in our 60's and we needed an option that brings the plants higher up so we do not have to do so much bending and kneeling. These planters will do that for us and as you can see... they are absolutely beautiful! As hard as this was (for me) to do, We are going to order another one in a different size for another area we plant vegetables.The only concern I have with these are the four corners where they attach to end and first side panel on each side. There are gaps where every line of corrugation occurs. Since these gaps are on the inside as well, it is possible that the potting soil could wash out of them when there are heavy rains. I will need to figure out a way to seal these corners, but other than that, no other concerns and I highly recommend these.

I purchased three 4x2x2. Nice product and easy assembly instructions; however, it will take you hours to assemble (and I purchased three units). Just removing the protective plastic coating on each panel will take you forever. Be cautious of the sharp corners; I ended up with a laceration on my arm. Be cautious when you open the bag containing the rubber strips for the top edge of the product; the strips are heavily oiled and if they make contact with your clothing, you're in trouble. I’m happy with the product; however, since they take so long to assemble, I will not buy this product again.

We purchased three of these 8'x4' beds for our garden this year. They were easy to assemble and have held up wonderfully so far. And, the color (which is even more beautiful in person) hasn't faded a single bit. We are excited to use these for years to come!

Quality product and holds potting/top spoil mixture very well. The only downsides are: (1) the 100+ screws that need to be fitted to assemble the unit, and this takes a bit of time and patience, (2) the cross-bracing members can interfere with your layout for planting in the planter, and (3) the rubber grommet strips for the top edge of the planter do not fit very well (when all the dust is settled, literally, I'm going to use some silicone to make them stick to the planter's edge better.) Looking to buy some more from this company, but would be good if they had some different options for the width and depth of the planter. I'd highly recommend. These are sturdy units and should hold up.
