Best Choice Products 4x2x2FT Steel Raised Garden Bed for Outdoor Use, Deep Planter Box for Growing Vegetables, Flowers, Herbs & Plants in Backyard, Patio or Garden - Taupe

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.

The Best Choice Products Outdoor Metal Raised Garden Bed was an excellent addition to my garden. Its 2ft growing depth, which can hold up to 119 gallons of soil, is ideal for medium to deep-rooting plants and vegetables like broccoli, beans, and more. This depth is a significant positive as it allows for a wide variety of plants to be grown. The open base drainage is another positive aspect. It promotes drainage to help prevent water and salt buildup while allowing your plants' roots easy access to nutrients. This feature is crucial for maintaining the health of your plants and ensuring they thrive. (But also opens up the possibility of varmints burrowing into your plants) The tool-free assembly is a big plus. The beveled steel panels come together with a set of included wingnuts and bolts with rubber edging for added protection. This makes the setup process straightforward and hassle-free, even for those who aren't particularly handy. (It does take some time to assemble and is made easier by two people. It took me about a half hour to construct one) The planter box is built to last, made of powder-coated steel panels and complete with four ground stakes to secure your garden bed. This robust construction ensures that the planter box will withstand the elements and continue to serve your gardening needs for years to come. (It DOES NOT include or use support bars so if you overpack your planter bed like I did you will get some bowing. 1 out of my three has bowing because I overpacked it, see photos) Best Choice Products Outdoor Metal Raised Garden Bed are a great choice for both experienced horticulturists and beginning green thumbs. Its depth, open base drainage, and tool-free assembly are standout features. I would easily recommend these to someone who is looking for open-bottom raised garden beds.

Easily assembled. Looks great. Only concern is the previous two we ordered last year have a middle bar to prevent collapse. These do not but so far so good. The two we ordered last year held up great. This year we have added three more down at the pool area

The garden beds were great, but I ordered all of them in Sage and ended up with 2 sage and 2 spring green. The colors were so close that I didn't notice it until they were put together. One bed came in the wrong size. They need to have better quality control and make sure the orders are correct. Still turned out pretty good.

Quality product and holds potting/top spoil mixture very well. The only downsides are: (1) the 100+ screws that need to be fitted to assemble the unit, and this takes a bit of time and patience, (2) the cross-bracing members can interfere with your layout for planting in the planter, and (3) the rubber grommet strips for the top edge of the planter do not fit very well (when all the dust is settled, literally, I'm going to use some silicone to make them stick to the planter's edge better.) Looking to buy some more from this company, but would be good if they had some different options for the width and depth of the planter. I'd highly recommend. These are sturdy units and should hold up.

Update: tried twice to start a return, each time got a message that it would need to be returned directly to seller and that labels had been emailed to me. They never were. No other way to contact the seller, Amazon gives no other options, return won't be processed until manufacturer receives the product. So, it's a product missing parts, with defective parts, and you can't return it. This thing failed in waves. First, this planter has a lot of screws, washers and wingnuts to assermble it, specifically 125 of each. Or, it's supposed to. Mine was missing the entire packet of washers. After complaining and going back and forth for a few days over email I was told they no longer had hardware for this planter and could not send me more washers. They gave me a partial credit so I could go to a hardware store and buy my own replacements. They also could not tell me the dimensions of the missing washers, but not that hard extrapolate based on the screws. I got the refund, got the washers, then went to assemble. 6 of 125 in, and I hit a problem. Screw and wingnut would fit togehter, but could not be tightened down at all. The screw wouldn't screw. Ok maybe one is a little off so I try another. Nope. Try to mix and match different screws and wingnuts. Out of a pile of 15 only 1 actually works. I'm 7/21 on the screw/wingnut pairs at this point and have had enough. This planter is just a series of metal plates with holes to assemble with hardware, and the hardware was either missing or remarkably defective. Waste of time and money. And now I get to deal with returning a large heavy awkward item that I no longer have a box for. Recommend if you have a few weeks left to get a last garden project in, but really dont' want to do it. Messing with this thing will force you to procrastinate long enough that snow will hit and the season to use it at all is over.

Great color. Easy to assemble. Exactly what I needed for my raised bed garden. Product is as described!

I have had these for a year now. So far they have held up great and survived a harsh winter. I would recommend using coated screws to resist rust. Once it gets nicer, I plan on doing a clear coat, as some of the screws have severely rusted, but the frame has no rust. They get direct sunlight almost 70% of the day in summer as well and have not faded. Plants grew very well in them. I also added 2 more supports on the top.
