AMERLIFE 7x2 Ft Raised Garden Bed, 16 Inch Depth Featuring Legs, Drainage Holes, Ideal for Deep Rooted Vegetables, Flowers, Herbs, Elevated Wood Planter Box for Balcony, Patio, Backyard, Easy Assembly

I kept trying to find an elevated garden bed made of solid wood that was also DEEP! Just opening the package smelled amazing because it was REAL wood. I LOVE this planter box. It was easy to assemble. I stained/sealed mine and added wheels so I can wheel my blueberry bushes around for optimal sun. I put thick plastic against the walls on the inside to protect them from moisture. On the bottom, under the soil, I used leftover parts of our live Christmas tree and water permeable cloth for good drainage. I did drill a couple extra drainage holes in the bottom just to make sure drainage would be good. Overall, I love it. Good price for 109$ on sale. It is very stable and solid. It is a great height and great for backyard gardening.

Bought 2 of these. I'm 74 and assembled them myself. Wood quality was good. Holes lined up correctly. Contained exactly the right number of screws and bolts. Everything well labeled. Instructions are a little obtuse, so the first one I bought was prone to assembly errors. The second one went together in a morning. If you don't already have a ratcheting screwdriver, get one.

Decent product easily assembled

Arrived as expected. Reviewers complaining about the measurements are nit-picking. It's nice looking and the height is great. Less expensive than comparable models we looked at locally. Assembly was fine. Appears to be well made.

I found this to be well made, easy to assemble and well designed. It is made of a cedar, but for extra weather resistance, I put some weather sealing stain on it. If we need to expand our raised garden, I will definitely purchase another one as you really can't beat the value.

I assembled the planter and put it in my backyard before a rain. After the rain, the bottom pieces of wood are all warped (see the pictures). It claims to be weatherproof and warp resistant but it's not.

Just put it together. Took about hour and a half. Pay close attention to the instructions. Seems to be a quality product. As soon as I opened the box , I could tell , it was cedar. Very sturdy and should last for years.

I just assembled both of my raised bed and here's my experience (I am not a workshop person but put together many Ikea furniture's and outdoor benches/chairs from Wood Classic): Good: packed nicely without any broken pieces and no missing screws, wood smell nice and relatively thick, OK directions (should suggest a rubber mallet to line up the boards) Bad: A few of the pre-drilled holes were misaligned and caused major assembly time (was going to return it) because the screw needs to inserted into a threaded nut in order to secure the board to the frame (I use an ice pick to guide the other screws), the depth for the nuts are not precisely drilled and need to play around to thread the screw into the nut, some of the pieces do not fit nicely into the groove on the foot and needed a mallet to gently pound it in. I don't know how someone can put this together in 20 mins. It took me 5hrs for the 1st set and 2.5hrs for the 2nd set. The first set have more drilling imperfections. A handy person with a helper should be able to assemble this in under an hr . Overall, I am satisfy with the raised bed since it looks nice and is make from solid wood. It should be pretty sturdy with all the screws and price is fair. I will put casters on the legs for mobility and will apply some clear stains over it.
