We bought two of these raised beds. Unfortunately one of them buckled under the weight of the soil we put in it. The wood is too soft so the screws holding the bed together actually sliced through the plank. Mind you, we didn't stuff the beds to the top, more like 2/3 of the way. The second bed is going to go the same way, it just has taken longer, but I don't expect it to make it to the end of the season.
This is a good product tho improvements could be made in how the bottom piece is put together. I bought two and it was a big pain both times. I’ve had them for about 6 weeks and so far they’re holding up nicely and look great. I will need to reapply the teak oil but that’s not a big deal. I’d buy them again.
While it was easy to put together, it fell apart less than two months after installation. The lumber/conneting screws were too smalland had insufficient strength to hold when filled with dirt plants. both ends on long-side split, spilling contents on to the ground.
I waited to write a review to see how this would stand up. I really like this garden bed....it is convenient because now I have it on the deck and don't have to worry about the rabbits or animals getting into it. My husband put it together no problem. When we went to move it to another location (so we could stain the deck) the joints where the legs are screwed just did not hold up. WE didn't drag it we lifted it up. I think the weight of the soil is heavier than the wood can sustain. My husband had to add more screws to all the leg areas to make it more solid to add support. He also has a strap around it to make sure it remains secure. Other than that, I really like it and get many compliments on it.
My daughter got me one of these for Father's day. Easy to assemble and a well built product. I will be ordering at least two more. Well worth the price.
