3 Tier Wooden Vertical Raised Garden Bed with Storage Shelf

The garden box was nicely packaged with Styrofoam and bubble wrap. They had several packets of silica gel in each board too, which I thought was impressive. I found the direction to be a bit vague and it took me a while to figure out step one and just where the corners of the boards were to touch. What was confusing too was the directions had board D1 marked wrong and D also marked wrong in the instructions. They showed the screws going through D1 but the holes were drilled out in board D. Step 5 was not complete either, not explaining what boards board H was suppose to attach to. As you move along in the instructions there are steps they could have added some instructions to. Like step 6 and 7. for example. You do not want to tighten the screws all the way down into your frame because you will not be able to get the next V box inserted as there is no room. So you have to make sure you do not tighten any of the screws until you are done with step 7. Also in step 7 there are 4 number 1 screws not 2 that you need to install in your top box.. You will need to predrill these as they go in very hard! Actually they do not give you the special tool for these screws either to fit the head. So needless to say I was not to happy as I had to get a tool to drive these in. One little trick you should make sure you do on this step is get a bar of soap and scrape soap all over these #1 screws on the threads, they will go in like butter then. But again make sure you predrill these holes too. Step 9 is also a little vague on the instructions. Overall everything went together great and I was happy with the outcome. One other factor I noticed is they do not tell you in the instructions where the location for the 2 big holes in each box should go. Facing forward or behind. I’m not sure its a big deal but I was wondering what these holes are for, possibly drainage. It’s a nice planter box, it's nice and big and will look beautiful this spring when the flowers get planted.

When I opened it I though was going to take me a lot of time to put it together but was easy and fast, using a battery drill was much easier but comes with the necessary tools anyways, also is beautiful, maybe I need to paint it or use ay product for even more durability of the wood, I’m contacting customer service to know more about it, they have and email and answered very fast

Didn't take long to assemble even with 3 little kids running around while doing it. A couple of the spots to screw in were a little harder to reach, but the item itself seems like it is going to be pretty sturdy and a nice easy planter for the kids to do some gardening of their own and each have their own level.

So far, price is good, so we'll see how it looks when I receive it.

We also used wood glue in addition to the screws provided. There are four slats that go in for the base/bottom which they provide screws for and I decided not to use. The bag fits well, just doing a good job of keeping the soil in place and helps with water retention. The plants put in her getting watered daily and appear to be doing quite well.
