Best Choice Products Raised Vegetable Garden Bed 3 Tier Elevated Planter Kit Gardening Vegetable

This is the second one of these we've purchased. I realize there are no doubt more expensive versions of this raised bed, but it works well for us in our garden. I used a food safe sealant on the other one and will do the same with this one. I got this one on sale, I suppose because it's nearing the end of the season, and we will wait until spring to put it together. It does take a lot of soil, but it works well for tall growing items in the back two rows, so it's worth it. It isn't overly difficult to put together once you get the hang of it. Would recommend.

These are well-made garden boxes. They are made out of fir and will probably last a lot longer than the ones I replaced that lasted about 10 years. They look really nice in my garden area and we’re so easy to put together.

I ordered this and it arrived within approximately 1 week so I was happy with that. Unfortunately, that was the last of my happy feelings with the product for the next several days. It arrived on Monday and Tuesday I decided to open it and assemble it. When I opened the box, there was a lot of wood but seemingly no hardware to assemble it. I looked for the instructions and realized it all slid together. Then I looked at the wood. The wood slats had angled ends and the corner pieces looked like they had keystone slots to slide the boards into. All of the slats looked slightly bigger than where they were supposed to go. I attempted to slide the first board I picked up into a corner piece. It wouldn't budge. I ended up getting the mini mallet I have to tap it in. I tapped about three times and then the corner cracked and split in two. I was angry but figured I would assemble the rest of it and use Gorilla Wood Glue on that piece. By the time I finally finished gluing different pieces back together (5 or 6 total!), it was 6 days later and I had heard cracking noises from all of it. Only the very top rectangle had no problems during assembly. I think that was because the sides were shorter. Now that I have it all assembled, it does look nice in my yard. However, I probably won't really be able to plant in it until next spring and I am concerned that having it sit out in the weather until then might cause the glue to breakdown and allow the entire piece to fall apart! Wish I had purchased something else. Save yourself the headache and frustration of too narrow grooves and easily damaged wood and buy something else!

I’ve had this product for 3 years, it looks cute but I’ve had to take it apart this year. There were corner pieces that broken when screwing them together 3 years ago. It isn’t very sturdy and the pieces don’t fit tightly together allowing dirt to escape between layers. Easy assembly. Worth the $80 but wouldn’t buy again. I want something that lasts 5-10 years.

Sturdy, easy to put together. I have terrible dirt in my yard, so I love that I can put shallower rooted things low and deeper rooted things higher up. I've never been very successful in growing veggies due to my soil, so this has been a win for me. The plants seem to love it!
