I bought from two vendors, this one and Greene's. what a mistake, I should have bought only from this vendor...the mill work from Greene's was unfinished, rough, lots of dangling wood pieces...awful. Mill work from BCP was clean, polished and well put together...what a difference.
By and large, this is a nice raised bed. This is the second one I have bought to use next year. The first one had a basic problem: the dovetail joints for assembly are not accurately cut. The wood can pull out of the slot and the whole thing fall apart. However, there is are simple fixes: 1.) you can put screws into the looser joints to hold them together; 2.) use glue when you assemble it (this is what I'll do next time; 3.) add wood stringers across the outside to hold the legs together. A little bit of work, but at the price this is going for, it's still a good value. And who knows, maybe the next one I get will not have the same problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you so much for your suggestion! We'll definitely forward this to our Quality Control to look at.
So far, SO amazing!! I have not put this outside yet as I plan to condition and stain the wood, but for this price!!?! You could and should order several for the season :)
Bought 2 of these as a gift for my wife. Easy to put together. There is the nice smell of the pine wood which gives an outdoor feel. I have only built one. Have not started using it but had a minor issue when building it. One of the post legs split where the panels slide into. Be very gentle and careful when fitting the side panels into the slots.
I ordered three of these but hesitated to try to assemble them myself being a 64 year old woman with a bad back. I finally tackled it today. No problem! Assembly was easy and smooth and it feels quite solid and looks very nice.
I bought two of these and just put them together this morning. I love that they have no nails or screws except for the piece on the bottom of the inside. They were very easy to put together and I definitely think they will ease my back problems. Great product.
