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

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.

This is a preliminary 5 star review. I like the look, it was a straightforward assembly. So glad they included the stabilizer pieces to keep it rectangular. One warning that I had read beforehand from an Amazon contributor - There are 6 panels - 2 of them (the end panels) are a few inches shorter than the 4 side panels. Don't mix them up !! Make a mental note of this if you order. I say preliminary review because I have ALMOST filled it to the top, haven't planted anything and I hope it lasts for years, fingers are crossed. Another tip, look on you tube for how to effective fill large raised garden beds. It has a 64 cubic foot capacity. If you bought 40 lb. bags of top soil (at .75 cu ft each), you would need over 80 bags! People suggest using things like rotted logs, branches, twigs, dead vegetation, leaves, straw, peatmoss, etc. to fill it up to a least a foot. (I did). Then I layered top soil, bagged manure, and garden soil. Even doing this it cost me $150 to fill it. 64 cu ft is BIG !!!!

Overall its a nice looking planter. Its a little thin, it does slightly warp so the braces are a MUST (it comes with 3). It hold a lot of soil and is the perfect hight for deep rooted plants. It fits in well with the look i was going for.My main complaint is that the bolts and wingnuts rusted within the first week. More of an eye sore or annoyance but doesnt affect function.

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

These are very well made and easy to put together. It really helps to have 2 people to put them together. I'm sure 1 person could do it but it is hard to hold the sides at the correct angle so that you can feed the screw through the slots and put the wingnut on at the same time. We are very happy with how they turned out. They seem extremely sturdy once put together. I put 5 indeterminate tomato plants in one bed and 4 determinate cherry tomato plants in the other, along with 8 pepper plants. So much easier to plant in a raised bed as opposed to kneeling on the ground. Wish I would have purchased them years ago. Will buy 2 more next season.

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.

The media could not be loaded. Update at bottom.The product needs more supports. The sides are bulging.I requested help/support. I originally asked for additional side supports: it seemed the most logical fix. I was told they don't offer just side supports.They asked me to send a video. I could not download any video or photos. Video size was too large so I shorten it to 5 seconds and I got an error it was the wrong format. I shouldn't have to be a computer wizard to get help with a problem.They also asked if I put more then the allotted amount of soil in it. I did the math: gallons to yards and filled it. If they want their customers to fill this with a coffee can and abacus, they shud have included them..After a lot of back and forth, I was able to message them via email outside of Amazon site. We were able to come to an agreement for a credit. It doesn't fix the sides but it saves me having to dismantle it and ship it back. I will still have to fix the sides and that will be a big project this fall.

This thing rocks! We got two and only set up one this year, the dirt was expensive but plan to set up the other one next year. We put old logs and hay and sand at bottom and nice top soil and compost on top. Its holding together well and we like the wood grain
