Good garden bed
Good loooking garden bed. Most pieces had splintered parts and chopped ends which was annoying. The price should have been $75 for the quality. I used wood sealant protector and a hex cap to amplify the look (see photo). I would recommend this product. Didn’t predrill.

    Great Buy!
    Very happy with the thickness of the Cedar, it is made of basically 2x4's. Easy to put together and it is very cost-effective.

      Not worth buying
      The 3 X 3 “kit” was not predrilled and the sides were mismatched so I had to turn one inside out to assemble. Pretty low quality and you could just buy dimensional lumber and make your own if the cedar is available.

        No brainer kit but there were NO PRE-DRILLED HOLES as promised in the instructions. I would suggest twice the number of screws for stability.

        Very easy to assemble and a good price! I will say that the holes were not pre-drilled as advertised, but even with that, they were so easy to put together. We purchased two of these and two of the 3ft by 3ft and attached them using metal corner brackets to make leveled beds. Very pleased with the outcome.

          Very easy to assemble and a good price! I will say that the holes were not pre-drilled as advertised, but even with that, they were so easy to put together. We purchased two of these and two of the 6ft by 3ft and attached them using metal corner brackets to make leveled beds. Very pleased with the outcome.

            It amazes me that I can buy this kit and get it shipped it across the US cheaper than I can buy the raw material and build it myself. So far, it has held up well, but there were a few missing pre-drilled holes. If you buy this kit note that you will likely need to drill a few of the holes to connect the ends. Also, the screws are not phillips head. They have a star pattern. You will need a special bit in order to assemble this.

            Wrong Screws
            I rated this raised garden bed kit three stars because, instead of the T-25 screws required by the assembly instructions, they sent Phillips head screws, which were unsuitable for screwing together the sections of the bed. Home Depot allowed me to exchange the Phillips head screws for #10, T-25, 3 1/2 inch, deck screws. On the positive side, the 2x4 boards forming the sections of the kit were in good condition with only slight warping.

              I was looking for untreated western red cedar and these raised beds were perfect. They arrived in excellent shape and were very easy to put together. Corners fit well and required no shaving of wood. The metal side braces and alternating positioning of the lumber for meshing together at the corners provide for a sturdy design. Very pleased.

              Quick and Easy Raised Bed Kit
              Pre-cut to size; individual walls come pre-assembled; connection hardware include (wood screws w/Torx head; T-15 I think - don't rightly remember offhand). The 3ft x 6ft size is easy to handle and assemble. If you bought the raw materials to make one from scratch, the cost comes out about the same. Wish Home Depot had more in stock.

                The frame went together easily, and looks to be sturdy enough with the interlocking corners. I’m putting a 50 gallon goldfish pond in the frame, with some room left over for some rocks and succulents around the edges.

                These are essentially made from cedar 2x4s and cheaper than getting the wood and constructing myself. Don't expect predrilled holes. There were not enough screws in the packages and some had none at all. Easy to assemble.

                  The four boxes were delivered intact and with all the parts. The assembly was easy. The only issue was one board split while installing the screw, so I reinforced the corner with an interior bracket.

                  Overpriced - but then so is building your own from scratch!
                  Be prepared to put in the work! Bought two kits... One of my kits did not come with the screws - luckily the other kit came with 4 extras so I could at least start assembly and finish it off with some long enough screws I had laying around my tool kit. They did not come pre-drilled. And one of my kits was water bogged and covered with mold. None of this justifies the price. And it’s a darn shame these beds can’t be built for cheaper buying the parts yourself... And though it says no tilling/digging - your plants will be much happier and grow better if you do work the soil before adding the beds on top.
