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

The product though deep very flimsy to assemble and not very stable once you add dirt you tend to be okay. I highly recommend taking a garden steak and driving it on the inside of the corners pieces, and then putting a screw or two in to make sure they stay anchored in place. It is definitely a two-person job to locate the box if you assemble it in a different location. All in all they do the job that I needed.

Would have given 5 stars except that it was a bit difficult to affix ends. Quality is good and depth is perfect. Delivered super fast

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 probably a fine garden box but it’s also been touted as a dog whelping box. You’re a couple problems with using it as such.First there’s a gap at the bottom large enough for a puppy to roll through. You can turn it upside down and the gap is smaller but a small puppy could still roll through it and in fact I had one do so. Second, when the damn liens against the side as she will, it pushes the walls apart. I had to put cinderblocks against each outer wall And still there was enough play that it kept coming apart every day. On the plus side it’s pretty, it’s fairly easy to take apart and put together, and it’s tall. But I would not buy it again for this purpose.

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 like the convenience of having an elevated garden. I like the size since I can easily reach to the middle to weed. I like the convenience of separating my types of veg and still be able to care adequately for them. I expect to maybe get another one this year. The only problem I found after this winter is the bottom of the newest one seems to be separating at the bottom and I am watching it closely. If that doesn't last another winter, I may reconsider. I thought it wouldn't retain water and be subject to freeze and refreeze conditions but it remains to be seen.

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.

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 🙁

attractive, keeps rabbits out, durable

For 1/4 of the price of a whelping box on Amazon, this is perfect for puppies and moms. I would do a couple things differently than instructions for this purpose. The legs have to have the smaller gap at bottom and not on top; add pvc pipe pig board railing; take two top board off one side for easy enter and exit and secure with L brackets

Clips very hard to lock in place, I suggest not to move after it is assembled or you will have to start over again assembling it. My first order was damaged in shipping and was returned before it reached me. Haven't had a refund yet. Ordered once more, arrived on time and in good condition. After receiving second order our local hardware store had this item $15 cheaper.

The quality of vinyl used is good. It is easy to install. However, the locking mechanism of four corners are not perfect especially the bottom parts. It does come out again and again through out assembly process and while filling the box. However, one can reinforce with outdoor screws to be extra sure. The depth is good, and overall, it meets my needs and my eyes for the price. I will recommend it for sure.
