Best Choice Products 4x2x1ft Outdoor Raised Metal Oval Garden Bed, Planter Box for Vegetables, Flowers - Sage Green

These garden bed kits come with six curved sections and four straight sections, along with the required hardware and a rubber protective strip for the top edge. I bought two units of these in order to make a 6'x2'x1' herb bed. (That left a 2'x1' circle bed, which will probably find a good home later.) The metal sides get their strength from being corrugated, but are not real thick/rigid so I added a cross brace in the middle, connected to a wing nut on each side to keep my longer-than-designed sides from bowing out when the bed is filled with soil. The semi-gloss finish on the metal looks good and the charcoal color is attractive. Assembly is a bit tedious -- joining the sections by putting machine screws through each hole and securing them with a washer and wingnut (plenty of all parts were supplied). And, it takes a little tweaking to get the screw heads to center on the holes when tightened, though most normal people wouldn't be bothered by a slightly crooked screw (see the photos showing straight and crooked screws). Also, the top row of wingnuts is visible above the surface of the soil -- not ideal, but unavoidable. Acorn nuts would look better and would be easier to work around when planting. And, the rubber trim strip that fits over the top edge is pretty thin and very flexible, so it gets distorted passing over the double thickness where each of the side sections overlap. A heavier weight, split round designed trim would look better, be more likely to stay in place, and probably hold up longer. So, although not perfect, they were on sale at an amazing price, making them definitely a five-star bargain that should serve their purpose well for a long time.

Though the planter came in small box, everything came in it what I needed. I love my new raised flower/ vegetable garden!

Packed well. Assembling is easy. Rubber edging helps protect sharp top and I trimmed to fit. Buy your favorite color to make garden have style. Love them!!

My 11 year-old grandson basically assembled this single-handedly the other night for me. I love the color. I'm going to use it for a small veggie garden. I already have my tomatoes and peppers going and my wildflowers and other tubs. But this one I thought would be cute. It's small cute accent color for the yard and hopefully I can get my basil and oregano and lemongrass, etc. to pop up in this little spot.

Love this garden planter. I did not use the rubber around the top as I like it without. It's easy to assemble, but it has a lot of fasteners so just be patient. I do wish the washers were more oval like the holes, but other than that it's a nice garden planter. I may order another one. Thanks!

Liked it so much that I bought a second one. I'm a 65 year old female with arthritis and I was able to sit in a lawn chair and assemble this easily. Does it have lots of screws and fasteners? Yes it does, but that just means it should hold together well. My only wish is that the washers would have been oblong instead of round to cover the oblong holes better but that's a minor inconvenience. Overall this is a great garden pot. Also, shipping is super fast. Ordered on a Saturday evening, got it three days later on Tuesday. I live in a rural area near SD so that's rare.

Really like this planter. We're just getting round to planting and so as my first year of raised bed planting, we're keeping it simple by planting some herbs - basil, rosemary, thyme, parsley … We were so pleased at how easy it was to assemble and love the color - green. Also the price was right!!

It was securely wrapped and well packed and wrapped inside the box when I opened it. No dents. The illustration drawings on the instruction manual was the most helpful, didn't require me to read just to assemble. The material was thick and well-made which pleased me the most especially since I got this on a sale, it was so worth it. I liked it very much and judging from the paint coat it should last longer than some to withstand all the rain I get where I live. The height was perfect for the vegetable I wanted to plant. This was a steal! .The only thing is the sale was for black. I prefer lighter colors so I can see if anything is crawling and would certainly it would lllook more fun in my backyard in any color except black.

No screw is needed at all ! Put together in less than 20 minutes ! Worth the value ! Can't wait to plant 🌱 more garden goodies inside of it ! Will be purchasing more ! The only negative thing that I would say is that it took a minute to receive it and didn't arrive on time !

I want to start a home garden to avoid microplastics in my food along with pesticides. What do you get with these? Plates covered in plastic! It's not easy to remove plastic either, it's actually inside of where the metal is folded in to the lip. The instructions said it would take 30 minutes to assemble. It took me an hour to remove these plastic films and then another hour to get the screws in. Thankfully, Walmart allowed me to return 3 of these, but I was already committed to finishing the first one since I removed all of these plastic films, creating a lot of plastic waste. Sunken cost fallacy.
