Review: Solid planter...even better customer support. - First off, this is the second of these items I have bought. The first was a week ago. They say it can be assembled by one person in 45 mins...my experience was that it took about 20-30 mins longer than that...but I was being careful. Both times the item arrived with some damage to the packing box but none to planter itself...so they are well packaged. The assembly instructions were pretty clear. There are a lot of small pieces...dozens of wing nuts, bolts, and washers. The first planter I purchased was perfect...exactly the right number of wing nuts and bolts and a few extra washers. The second time they were a wing nut short. I was very careful opening the fittings and immediately placed each type into a small bowl, so I know I didn't lose one. I contacted the vendor via the chat function of their help website, within a minute I was switched from AI to a human who quickly and efficiently gave me the help I needed and the planter was finished with a replacement wing nut the next day. The speed and efficiency of the customer support are why I decided to give them 5 stars despite the one missing wing nut. So, I now have two of these end-to-end along the side of a pathway. They look great...they're filled with compost and topsoil and are very solid. They work just as they should and I am very happy with the purchase. The solid product, pricing, and excellent customer support mean that I would definitely be comfortable buying from this vendor again.
Review: Nice garden boxes! - 1 year update — these garden boxes have worked out very well. I have them on a slight slope and dug a bit in to the slope on the back side of each box to ensure each box is level. I currently have 7 of the 6’x3’x2’ boxes. I assembled them myself and moved them to the garden on my own. Not terribly difficult but an extra set of hands would have been helpful. The boxes feel a little flimsy upon being built but once they were places & filled, they were fine. I am careful not to lean on the edges of the boxes as they would surely bend. Also, the support bars are very lightweight and bend very easily, if you’re not careful. As a side note, I did not use the rubber edging/trim that comes w/each box. I can’t imagine it would stay in place & I saw no benefit. I placed my boxes in 2 rows, the rows and boxes are all 3’ apart & the spacing worked out very well. It was easy to maneuver around each of the boxes. I added a hog panel arched ‘trellis’ between the 2 rows of beds. I did not need to use t-posts to secure the hog panel as it is wedged between 2 of the garden boxes (end-to-end). As the boxes are a pretty good size, it took quite a lot to fill them & I followed the ‘lasagna’ method for filling w/cardboard on the bottom, then branches & twigs and leaves & lawn clippings. Then a layer of compost, more grass clippings and finally a mix of garden & top soil. Once planted, I kept the beds mulched all season long w/fresh layers of grass clippings. The boxes are open to the ground on the bottom & I had no issues with drainage. Also, the use of grass clippings as mulch helped minimize the amount of hand watering I needed to do (we did not use any chemicals on our lawn!). Initially, I used hay as mulch for a couple of my boxes & spent the entire season picking weeds from those beds (lesson learned)! The grass mulch definitely helped but I feel like I still watered a fair bit (south facing, full South Carolina sun). I made hoops from bamboo that I split & used 3 hoops per bed & covered them with netting held down w/garden staples to keep birds & other critters at bay. This worked great, even kept the deer out. I added a small compost container with a screw top lid (I cut off the bottom of the container & buried each container so the lid was at the top of the soil). Throughout the season, I added kitchen scraps… egg shells, fruit/veggie peels/skins, etc. to the containers but I think I’ll skip this step this coming season. I’ll continue to compost but will do so in my central compost setup and will amend the soil in the boxes w/compost, as needed. By the end of the growing season, I had experienced multiple inches of settling in each box, as a result of the breakdown of the components of my initial fill method. I expect I’ll add a few inches of a mix of compost, grass clippings/leaves and garden/top soil before planting my boxes this spring. I really do like these garden boxes a lot. They are functional & I am very happy with how they look & how they’re holding up. In fact, I plan to purchase one more box this spring, for a total of 8.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love My Outdoor RectangularGarden Beds
*by J***W on January 13, 2026*

Perfect for gardeners who do not have access to decent ground soil for growing flowers and veggies. Easy to assemble, easy to fill, aesthetically pleasing, easy to maintain. Recommend first loading the interior with a 6" layer of recycled cardboard (remove tape, staples, sticky labels beforehand) dried broken twigs, dried leaves and tree branches to assist with drainage. Then comes the fun! This size planter box will require approx-imately 8-10 (maybe more, maybe less) 40 lb. bags of potting soil. But, once it's filled, the planter is great for deep rooted veggies and plants. Once everything is in bloom, it looks very nice. I've bought two of these planter boxes and I'm happy with both purchases.
