Customer Reviews for Outdoor Essentials Homestead Rustic 4 ft. x 4 ft. Gray Pine Raised Garden Bed

Overall design is great and easy, but the quality of the wood is exceptionally poor. Some of them had parts of the sides that looked gnawed through. I ordered three sets and none had good wood for all the pieces. Also it comes with half as many screws as you need in order to assembly it securely.

Fast shipping. Easy to assembly, very good quality, beautiful garden, love it. Recommend the product.

Overall very happy with the quality. I ordered two 3x6 and two 3x3 kits. All came with decent screws, aligned predrilled holes and easy to assemble with a small battery drill/screwdriver. Some boxes were pretty beat up so the company could use a better quality shipping box....one 3x6 did have a cracked piece of wood that I had to wood glue back into the center board but otherwise I really like the 2 in. thickness of board, these are cedar and joints fit together very easily.

Very simple construction and easily assembled. A bit pricey as all lumber, screws, and plates can be purchased and savings of $30.

1. Wood was cheap, but that was expected. 2. Holes were not predrilled, as the instructions stated (I can drill holes, but that product is not as advertised). 3. One of the staples holding the boards was almost completely separated. 4. I ordered 2 of these, one of them didn't come with any of the screws.

We bought three of these, and I want another. Looks like I have to wait for them to be in stock. Not super fancy, but they seem like they will function well, especially for the price. We decided to add a foot long 1x2 strip at each end and two on the long sides - pressure treated wood screwed in on the outside - just to shore them up a bit. They look great. Can't wait to get the dirt delivered!

I bought 2 of this. This product is great because of the price (cheaper than cutting lumber and making it), size (fits perfectly in my backyard), easy assembly, quality, thickness, free delivery, etc!!!!

For my garden this is a great, well priced item. Rot and insect resistant cedar boards are not cheap. This product makes a good sized, easy to assemble raised garden bed for a price less than I would have paid if I had purchased the materials separately. Again, great product at a great price. Thanks Home Depot.

I'm happy to see these are back in stock. I ordered two and wanted to get two more. Around here, you can't even buy 2x4 cedar lumber to make your own for less than this kit. Every other kit I looked at was made with much thinner wood (1x4 or 1x6 which are only 5/8" thick). This is 1 1/2" thick. One of my kits was missing some screws. The screws need a special bit so I bought a box of Phillips head 3" deck screws to use instead. The wood is a little rough. It's fine if you are putting it in your yard and filling it with dirt. You can use the box it comes in to line the bottom and kill the grass where you place it. If you are placing this next to your fine cedar deck and worried about appearances, you may want a higher end product at many times the price point. If you have children, you may want to plan on sanding it a bit. You can't beat this price.

Ordered two of these. One came damaged. The other arrived missing the fasteners, and the two 3' sections to make the box. Poorly fastened together (on the one I opted to keep, I needed to re-fasten the staples holding the planks together), the wood on at least half of the box sections was splitting or splintering. I originally bought this for the sake of convenience. It would have been a better value to just buy the raw lumber and make these myself.

The bed was delivered on time and very easy to put together. I will be buying more.

Arrived in great shape and on time. Good quality materials and slick design. I purchased two of these and had them both put together in about 15 minutes total. You need a polydrive-type screw driver fitting for the screws that are used with these units. Good product and price. Would buy again if we expand our garden space.
