Nice large size, well made and love the color!

Every single piece of this planter comes coated with that peel-off thin plastic film. It was a real hassle to get off. Possibly I could've just left it on, but you know how it is--once you start peeling, it's hard to stop. Besides, I wanted to paint them black to match my black house, so that plastic film had to go. MASSES of it went into the film recycling. Assembly wasn't terribly complicated, but I bought three of them at once, and it certainly paid to have a power screwdriver, the right size hex wrench to hold the nut, and a table or raised surface big enough to lay the pieces out on. They do come with little rubber feet to protect a painted surface. I'm VERY happy with the outcome, but getting there was a bit of a challenge.

It's kind of weird that if you search for garden bed like this one, you have scroll through so many garden beds you don't want. Like you really have search for it. I like metal raised elevated garden beds like this one because it looks good and it's sturdy in kansas' winds. The only real concern of these garden beds is have fluff soil ever so often because it will go dry. I started adding old vegetables in the dirt and that seems to work. Also don't plant big plants in these, it's not deep enough, and soil nutrients will run out quickly. Grow so small summer flowers or tempting Tomatoes in these garden beds.

Cute pop of color, perfect height, easy to screw together… But yikes, that dreaded plastic film! It did take forever to peel off because it is literally on every millimeter of surface and some of it is stuck under a fold in the metal. You end up with some little stuck bits which you probably won’t ever notice again. Do the legs first because those are the hardest and most frustrating because of aforementioned stuck bits. The larger panels go pretty quickly once you get started. It took a long time but I was so happy with the finished product that I don’t care. It’s not very heavy, but seems sturdy enough.
