BIRASIL Outdoor Wood Raised Garden Bed, Elevated Reinforced Large Planter Box with Storage Shelf for Vegetable Flower Backyard Patio Gardening Balcony (48”L, Natural Wood)

The ease of movement was very easy. The build quality is was good as instructions were clear and the assembly was easy. I think it was worth the money and if I needed to purchase again I would. The Design and look is pretty straight forward they are really nice. I can’t comment on water retention yet as I haven’t added soil because it’s too cold outside and my plants are still inside.

Great raised bed to plant specially if you have limited space. It takes time to install with manual tools but a drill can help make it faster. It came with instructions how to install. The diagram is kinda small but you can also figure it yourself like a lego.Once installed, it sturdy and can hold a good weight. Great buy specially the price compared to to other alternatives.In fact, this is my second time buying it as it just works for me and now I am growing food and will harvest soon. :)

Easy to put together. Looks good. Nice height.

Let’s start with putting this thing together. There are no words on the instructions. Just pictures. Sometimes it’s clear how to proceed, sometimes it isn’t. But overall, assembly took about 45 minutes. This isn’t the highest quality wood, as I did encounter some very small cracks when tightening the screws. They didn’t get any worse and haven’t impaired the box in any way though. Before I put this together, I used some chemical-free wood sealer on every part, since I intend to grow vegetables in this box. Don’t want any harsh chemicals to seep into the soil and make my veggies inedible! It holds about 200 lbs. of dirt or enriched potting soil and does so quite well. It’s sturdier than I thought it would be. I’m currently growing some radishes, cucumbers, onions, and I plan to see how tomatoes do as well. I’ve only used about half of the existing space in the box. It has rained a couple of times since the weather has warmed up and the box had no issue with the weight of the wet soil. It’s just as sturdy as when I put it together. The only thing I would do differently is maybe raise it up about 4-6 inches. That’s just my personal preference though. Overall, this is a solid planter box for a decent price. When I was looking at this, I took the design and measurements and priced out the wood, screws, price of having the hardware store cut the wood to the desired length, and I was looking at spending over DOUBLE what this box cost. This box was around $80 and if I bought the wood and screws and did the work myself, it would’ve priced out around $190. This was at both Lowe’s and Home Depot. So I recommend this, with only one caveat: I wish it were a little taller. Other than that, great price for a quick and easy elevated planter box!

Loooooove these garden beds. Required a second person to assemble, one of the two we purchased required a lot more work to get the pieces to fit. But these have held up through the weather and still look great. The fabric bed liners needed trimmed down but they are a nice touch. Cheaper than any similar ones we have seen at Costco, etc. Would get these again

The box is quiet beautiful but the wood used on the bottom doesn’t support the weight of the earth. I bought two boxes and both broke after everything was set up and the lettuce seedlings were already planted.

Very easy to put together. Can do it as a one person project. I am a female and was able to assemble by myself. Very well constructed and the finished product looks very nice.

The order came packaged well in an easy to handle box. Assembly was easy, took a novice about an hour. The finished product is great. I sprayed 2 coats of protectant on the bed, omitting the inside of the bed. The black cloth that comes work it is ample and covers the inside well. This keeps the soil from 'washing away' too much while watering. There are drainage holes that are a good size and work well. It's very lightweight before the soil is added, making it easy to put it in its final spot. The price is definitely fair for the finished product. 👌
