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

Very nice looking raised planters!
These are extremely well-made raised planters! Nice heavy duty steel, re-enforcement braces top and bottom in four locations. The powder coated paint will last for many, many years. When assembled, they are very sturdy! It took me about three hours to put each one together. I will not lie to you, it is very tedious work with a lot of bending, kneeling, and crouching to get the unit assembled with 112 bolts and wing nuts each. The actual assembly itself is very simple and straight forward. My wife and I are in our 60’s and we needed an option that brings the plants higher up so we do not have to do so much bending and kneeling. These planters will do that for us and as you can see… they are absolutely beautiful! As hard as this was (for me) to do, We are going to order another one in a different size for another area we plant vegetables.The only concern I have with these are the four corners where they attach to end and first side panel on each side. There are gaps where every line of corrugation occurs. Since these gaps are on the inside as well, it is possible that the potting soil could wash out of them when there are heavy rains. I will need to figure out a way to seal these corners, but other than that, no other concerns and I highly recommend these.

Wingnuts!! WHY?
I have put together several of these from different brands. They are all tedious, for sure. The panels of these are of thicker gauge and the powder coat is of good quality. It will scratch however, so you need to use some care. I put this one together during a breezy, beautiful 70 degree day. One thing to be aware of is that the darker colors will get hot. I reached down to pick up a panel and dropped it because it was so hot. Got my infrared thermometer and the panel was almost 150 degrees! I had just put together a competitor’s planter box and they had included a pair of gloves so I was very grateful for that. This would be a five star review but I took off a star because wingnuts. So many wingnuts! I always set the screws loosely and use my drill with a socket to tighten and it goes so fast! But this one…80 wingnuts. All hand tightened. Ugh! Otherwise, it’s nice.

Highly recommended
I got 5 of these to build a vegetable garden in my backyard. They are very easy to assemble, the quality is better than I expected, and they look is more modern and stylish than most competitors. My concern when getting the beds was how they would look in my yard. Instead of detracting, they improved the look. I am impressed.

Rusty screws and lots of plastic wrapping
Currently rating a 3, as we’re still putting together the 3 we bought (lengthy process!). So far, disappointed that the screws, washers and wing nuts rust. I’m not sure on the longevity of the product due to this. Also, the panels are all wrapped in plastic, which took FOREVER to unwrap. I appreciate the protection, but man, it was not fun. The panels scratch easily, so there’s scratches already anyways…We shall see if the rating changes once we get to actually planting inside them.
