NuVue Products 26001 Premium Outdoor Raised Garden Bed for Growing Edible Plants and Flowers, BPA-Free Woodgrain Panel Elevated Planter Box, 48” L x 48” W x 15” H, White

Ease of assembly. I’m 69 and I did it myself. A little work was involved sinking the corners down an inch or two and I dug walls into the soil a just a bit too. I also weighted each hollow in the corner join half filling them with landscaping rocks. And as an added support I placed patio pavers,1 against each wall, to support the weight of the wet soil on the walls. I expect the garden will stay together longer than me. My first test planting is 12 square ( 1 ft each), 6 peppers, 3 basil and 1 tomato plant(it will need 3 squares of room) so 10 plants in all. Watching them grow in they just fit. Next spring I’ll do 3 rows leaving them more space. This was a new addition to my garden, an expansion. I have been container gardening for years, growing my veggies and herbs in large pots. Keeps weeds down easy to maintain. This is lower to the ground but still easier than working the ground. I’m considering putting one in the front yard as a raised flower bed.

We've had these for a few months now - I purchased two after a failed attempt of installing a much shorter, cheaper set from the local big box hardware store. Don't be deterred on the price of these!! They are well worth it and I hope to be able to get a couple more before gardening season next year. They are easy to put together, are still looking great, and so easy to take back apart if you wanted to put two together, or just move/store it. The corner covers will pop off if the hose gets wrapped around the box by accident but this is totally a nice feature in the long run if you need to go back and level the box, etc. Even after once or twice weekly mowing and trimming right around the edge of these, they are still looking brand new. We didn't level them - just plopped down landscaping paper, this on top, about 6" worth of bagged dirt, and done. The kids and I have really enjoyed planting seeds and have radishes, green onions, potatoes, beets, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and leeks coming up so far this year and it's only the end of May.

I bought two of these raised beds to fill with strawberry plants. They arrived quickly and in pretty good shape. They only take about 10 minutes to put together and they look beautiful. I have two small complaints about them that the factory could address to make them easier to put together and stay together. 1) the top rails attach to each other inside the corner posts, so they're nice and stable. However, the bottom rails don't attach to each other in the corners. They attach loosly (with slides) along their tops to the rail above, but there's about 2" inside each post that they can slide back and forth. So after assembling them, they can slide so far they come out of the post. I don't know why they don't also attach inside the post. 2) the black corner pieces that hold the top rails together are hard to snap in place. Especially because 4 of the top rails and been dragged on one edge or something and the plastic was mushed in. I had to push it back out in order to snap the black pieces in. Still, really like these and would highly recommend them.

I bought this for my Russian Tortoise Pebbles, He has an indoor enclosure but when the weather is nice, he loves to be outdoors. His outdoor puppy pen has been difficult to adapt to his needs, especially making visual barriers for him. He seems to want to go walkabout, as tortoises do, if he can see out. This raised bed is great, it's weather proof, easy to clean, tall enough he can not climb the slippery surface, (I have a top on it anyway) and it is lightweight enough for me to move around the yard seasonally to optimize his sun/shade ratio. I love it and the price! Thanks so much, great product, I put it together with no tools in about fifteen minutes. Then I furnished it with rocks, caves, huts, basking areas and of course food and water. He loves it and so do I ! I would imagine this would also be a dandy raised bed for plants haha!

I bought this because it looked very classic and I thought, "oh how nice it would look with red geraniums in it". I received it but because the temperatures were still unusually cool at night, and my local home improvement store didn't have bedding plants out yet, I didn't open the shipping box and put the unopened box aside for several weeks. I just got it out and tried to put it together. Geeez Louise!!!! Here's what I honestly discovered. (PS I am pretty good about assembling things - I have a good collection of automotive and woodworking tools and am pretty handy with them). Ok, here's goes: 1. The instructions were terrible. Yes, I figured it out but the instructions showed another (probably earlier) model of the box. The instructions were very faded and hard to see and left out some important steps in putting this together. 2. Here's the major problem, and it's a show stopper. The side panels slide into the posts and there's a silly plastic corner brace that is very difficult to put in because you have to put it down inside the post and then try to click the top side panels in it. Even when I got the corner brace inserted, the panels pop right out again. There is no brace for the lower panels and they slide right out of the corner posts. I had to buy some white duck tape and tape the side panels to the posts because literally if you touch the box, the side panels pop out and the whole thing falls apart. Flimsy, flimsy, flimsy!!!!! I knew I couldn't fill this box with bedding soil...ain't no way folks! My review? Don't buy this garden box...it's a waste of money! I'd like to speak to the engineers that designed this thing - they need to go back to the drawing board.

This is easy to put together, looks nice and is the perfect size to plant my tomatoes and peppers. Love it!

This is my second purchase of this product. I bought one in the early spring and planted a very prolific garden. I purchased another at less price and plan to set it up for next year. it's easy to assemble, but beware that it is open at the bottom, so you have to place landscaping fabric or bricks or wood to keep the soil from running out. The top posts frequently come off as you walk by and accidentally tough. Other than that, aesthetically pleasing and functional. Thank you

attractive, keeps rabbits out, durable

These are made out of plastic, although they are heavy duty plastic. At first, it was a little bit confusing to put together until I realized what I was doing. Works great and pretty big a bit of soil to fill up

Once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to put together EXCEPT the corners! There are little knobs that have to be pushed into the holes.. I am not strong and tried for 80 mins and still can’t get them in the holes…so although they are a excellent size and pretty … I’m left frustrated and I wouldn’t purchase these again because of that 🙁
