Easy to assemble and sturdy. There was a small piece about the size of a quarter that came out in the box, looks like it was a knot hole.

There were no screws or bolts to put it together or holes drilled in it for the bolts as promised. So I may have a problem putting it together so it can be used. I’m not that handy.

Easy to assemble. We piloted the holes to make sure the wood didn't split. The cedar wood is thick, which is the main reason we bought this product over other comparable ones. Looks great and is sturdy.

It was easy to assemble. As with other reviews, note that the screw heads are not standard -- star screws? But it's up and running with strawberries and lettuce within. If it stands the test of time, I'll buy another next year.

The boards were NOT predrilled but the overall boards were nice. Just hope they last a while and don't rot.

Garbage
These were absolute garbage. The sides don't fit together at all and the long sides are at least an inch taller than the short sides. The wood isn't even the same between the long and short sides. I was planning to stack these but now I can't without modifying them. We can't even put them together without sawing out a chunk of each section. Returning and spending more money to build our own, I guess.

    Just received the bed this afternoon. Looks like good quality wood. Unable to set it up today unfortunately. There are no screws included and there are no pre-drilled holes advertised. No installation instructions included. Disappointed that I will have to shop for screws.

      Assembly of this bed would have taken 10 minutes IF -- there really had been pre-drilled holes, one wood screw had not been missing, and if it could REALLY fit together with all the connected sides facing inside. Even with all those problems, it took 20 minutes. I still gave it 4 stars because this is thick cedar boards and the quality of the wood alone makes it worth the price, even if I did have to buy a special drill bit and search up an extra screw. I am a 71 year old grandma with arthritic hands and this was a piece of cake even for me.

        Very well planned, very simple to complete, and I really like Home Depot and the customer service is great. The online service is just as good as counter service.

        The older reviews talking about this being a great deal are misleading because of the price increase. This was great when priced for $69. It was cheaper than buying lumber and it came precut even if some drill holes or screws were sometimes missing. Now that it's $98, you might as well build it from scratch and select your own straight and smooth 2X4s. I didn't mind the rough patches when the price was right. But it's still nice that it's thicker wood than most other kits.

          The wood was split on the ends, it didn’t come with screws, and there were no predrilled holes.
