mestyl Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Outdoor for Vegetables Flowers Herb, Elevated Metal Planter with Legs, Metal Garden Box for Gardening Backyard, Easy Assembly, 48x24x32in, Black

I like it. It said 20 min to assemble. took me, one person by myself an hour taking my good old time. i still havent put dirt in it to see if it actuly holds the weight it says...we'll see. but it looks like it does.

Once I went and bought $25/unit worth of 1/4-20 x 3/4" nuts, bolts and washers all was OK. The majority of the nuts and bolts that came with this had bad threads. Super annoying when you know that it came with say 28 and you're going to need 28. Once I put it all to gether though it seems sturdy enough and looks OK.

As everyone says directions aren’t very helpfulThe planter looks good and my plants are growing!

This raised garden bed wasn't too difficult to assemble. Though, there was some damage to the parts upon opening the package, but I handled those issues myself. It was fairly easy to put together and the materials are decent quality. I do not feel that this would support the weight capacity that it states of 350 pounds though. If you use this on a solid, level surface such as concrete, then it may be okay. This just doesn't seem sturdy enough to handle that kind of weight. For me, my plans for this didn't come near to approaching that weight so it's not a concern for me. I would still make sure that this is placed on a solid, flat, and sturdy surface.This drains fairly well, though it only has one drainage hole. This can be a positive or negative depending on your needs. In my opinion, this garden bed would be better off without the legs, or with much shorter legs in order for it to have more stability. In the end though, I am able to grow vegetables in it without too many issues so it does what I expected it to do!

Bent corners very difficult to assemble like this

The legs on this garden did not withstand the morning rain storm in spring in Florida… i cant imagine it working in Summer without better support. As i walked outside after the storm i noticed it was bowing. So we started to add pavers under neath the legs which only made the bow worst and crash to the ground.So sad!!! Ive had this together for about a week. Bought dec 4th 2023 and today is Jan 6 2024.

This raised garden bed is of mid-level quality. It is made of a fairly thick metal (not what I consider to be heavy-duty - I can’t easily pick it up and carry it by myself) that has a thin black coating that scratches easily (found out during installation). The sides are corrugated metal, which looks nice - but because of the way it is put together, requires a liner to keep dirt from leaking out the slots. The kit does come with a very thin liner (thinner than weed barrier material) that isn’t likely to last more than 1 season. The only drainage is a single small hole in the bottom, and the bottom is curved to direct water to that hole. Unfortunately, this will be a problem with a significant amount of rain, so I will be drilling extra holes along the bottom panel to supplement.I had a few difficulties with assembly. The bottom piece was severely bent in one corner (enough that I can’t secure it with a bolt) and minor bend in one side. The assembly instructions were not clear or complete (examples: which holes get the larger size bolts? Which side of the panels face outward? Didn’t understand at all the “tip” on step 4.) Also, the hardware was poorly made - I had a number of bolts/wing nuts that wouldn’t screw together, and ended up short one workable wing nut and large screw.The raised garden bed looks nice (ignoring the scratches) and will do the job, but needs some improvements to be a really quality product.
