Upright Cedar Planter Box
This is a good sized planter box. It’s made of cedar and requires assembly which was relatively simple. It has drainage holes in the bottom panels. We plan on having this undercover on a patio so the wood should hold up okay out in the elements. I don’t know how the wood would hold up if it were exposed to bad weather over time. We assembled it per the instructions which tells you to put the liner in before putting the caps on but the caps don’t hold the liner in and as you can see it just sits there and flops down. If you fill it with dirt, which we don’t intend to do, I would imagine that it would help holding the liner up. Even still you would end up with dirt behind the liner because it’s not attached in any way. If I were to use this with the liner filled with dirt, I think I would have to staple it in or something. I’m not sure why the liner doesn’t stay put. Otherwise the box itself is nicely made and it smells delightful because it’s cedar. We plan to put potted plants in it so it will be just fine for our use and it looks really nice.

Great Purchase
I Purchased this Planter For my husband. It is Sturdy, and I love the color (gray). He has planted a vegetable garden in it (Cucumbers, Eggplant, red, cabbage, basil, and parsley). The vegetables are thriving! We did have a handyman put it together, and although the process was simple, the handyman did have to drill one or two holes to line things up properly.However, it is a wonderful purchase, and well worth the price.

Somewhat Easy Assembly, Very Sturdy
Four months later, the first raised bed is showing signs of splitting along the top rail of one end and its adjoining end cap. We don’t know if ground settling is causing this, or if the wood was too immature when it was harvested.The liners are disintegrating, literally breaking apart in the sunshine. Plan on an alternate means of keeping the soil in the beds would be prudent. Next year, we’re thinking of plain old “get at WalMart” garden cloth, or seeing about getting the kind of cloth GrowBags are made from.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is the second post regarding this product’ the first one is listed below. We bought an additional two units, and the mortises (the parts where there is a slit cut so that the panels can be inserted) were “blown out” instead of ending at the point where they were supposed to. With an extra-heavy application of wood glue and additional long wood screws, we were able to put this together. Be prepared to need to adjust how the assembly goes, and to anticipate needing additional screws and heavy duty wood glue, and have them on hand and ready to go.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It’s a rainy day out, so hubby decided to assemble this in the sunroom. He laid everything out according to the directions and made certain all the pieces parts were there. The directions were clearly written and easy to follow. It took about half an hour for him to assemble the basic pieces, and he only needed about 15 minutes of my assistance to slide the bottom panels in and fasten the last end assembly. There were more fasteners than were needed to complete the project, a pleasant surprise. The liner looks adequate for the planter depth; we will need to get some staples to fasten it to the sides and ends. It could have been a bit deeper, but liner material is inexpensive enough should we decide to purchase more.As suggested in several videos we watched, he used some TiteBond Wood Glue on the legs, end caps, and mortise & tenon joinery, leaving the bottom panels with the drainage holes to float freely. Tomorrow we are going to use some Thompson’s Water Seal to make sure that this investment lasts several years. At only 28 pounds, this is light enough for me to move into the position we want. Once placed on the brick pavers we bought, and after filling the bed with dirt, this bad girl isn’t going anywhere. It is solid, sturdy, and doesn’t move when “jiggled”.OK, here’s the bad part: we have to wait until payday to get several more of these raised beds. It is a well-made product, and a good bargain. Yes, we did add about $30 to the project (glue, brick pavers, and water seal, which will be more than adequate for the next few beds we buy), but that’s nothing compared to the length of time we expect to get out of this garden bed.

Very sturdy
This is my second one. Easy to assemble and looks good on my deck. Enough room for lots of vegetables or herbs.

Very nice, would buy again!
Took longer to coat all the pieces than putting it together – putting it together took about half an hour. Suggest a rubber mallet, as the dovetail joints were snug – which is a GOOD thing. So, since I also own the “rustic” Gronomics elevated beds, thought I would comment on the similarities/differences. Both IMO are excellent products, and nicely allow you to simply put large potted plants out to serve as a screen without violating HOA rules – and, one day, I can take my trees and shrubs with me. It’s also a great place to put house plants out for the season.To my surprise, the lining for this product is actually seamed and fitted, not just a swath of landscaping cloth like the Gronomics product – a nice surprise, even if it was a tad smelly. Overall, I’d say the same-sized Gronimics elevated bed is more “robust” tho I don’t mean this is a flimsy product. The posts of the rustic Gronomics bed are thicker, heavier, and the top caps larger and screw in as opposed to pushing in with dowels. But the rustic Gronimics boards are “rough finished” while all of the Best Products boards were smooth, and nicely beveled. Actually, the Best Products elevated bed has tighter joins than the Gronomics beds I purchased. Both products I purchased need a coating of oil or some sort of weatherproofing, unless you want the wood to age fast. The cedar of the Best Choice product seemed softer than the Gronomics, and with both I had very minor splintering on a few board ends.At the moment I have 5 potted miniature citrus and two large potted hibiscus sitting in this elevated bed, and hope to make some wire arches and drape w. plastic so I can keep the citrus out longer as the weather cools, as the plants dislike coming indoors for the winter. As for this specific product, I’d buy again – it’s very attractive – the color of the picture shown is pretty much what I received, and oiling the wood just made it look richer in color. In looking around, IMO the current price is very good and I’d buy another if I had room. Overall, I’d say the Gronomics product may be slightly more robust (and I do like the thicker posts and large wood caps of the Gronomics product) but can’t say you’d go wrong purchasing this product either. Very happy with this purchase. Perhaps this product was imitating Gronomics or some other product, but if it’s some sort of “knock-off” IMO it’s a good one – sturdy, attractive, functional. And at the moment, an excellent price, as I’d seen Gronomics and other elevated beds sold as high as $300 online – worth shopping around!

First one took like 40 minutes to assemble, the other 2 after were 20 minutes.

Es comoda de usar, tiene buen tamaño, la calidad de la madera es buena, solo le puse un protector para la humedad y el sol para asegurarme de su durabilidad.
