They take a while and a large space to assemble. There are gaps at the corners where mice and voles can get in. Otherwise appear to be a good product at competitive price.

Takes a long time to put together
I have mixed reviews on these beds. I bought A LOT of them- the ones that are about 12" high, 8 feet by 4 feet, and the 2 foot high ones, 8 feet by 4 feet. If you want to actually see the beds put together go to YouTube, look up Hickory Hill Homestead (light green logo) and you'll see a recent video there. There are a TON of bolts and wingnuts. I believe I counted 72 in total for the shorter beds and even more for the taller ones. You can imagine how long these took to put together. There are 4 total pieces of metal on each long side, 2 pieces of metal on the short sides, 4 corner pieces to hook the sides together, and 3 middle supports.
One tip- do not put the bolts in on the bottom of the long sides because you have to add the supports, so it saves a tiny bit of time to wait until you put the supports in to add those bolts.
Customer service did not make me happy as one of the shorter beds was missing a long piece to the long side and instead I had an extra piece of the short side. At first they offered me $20 as a refund on a nearly $80 raised bed. No thanks... give me a side piece so I can finish the bed. They said they could not and would not send me a new one. They finally gave me a $45 refund. That still does not make me happy at all.

Works well, but really needs some kind of trimming on the edges.
Very sharp and not safe for children

Decent quality raised beds
I was impressed with the quality of the metal in these raised beds. They were easy to put together and sturdy once put together.

They look great, but you need to prop up the centre spreading bars. I used bricks, 2x4s and anything that would keep the walls from sucking in. Rigid 4 foot bars would be better.

Easy assembly decent quality
Arrived very quickly and in good shape. No bent panels or missing hardware. All holes aligned properly. No scrapes or scratches on the paint. The included wingnuts made assembly especially easy. Fewer panels to assemble than other raised beds I have purchased in the past. I expect to get many years use out of this raised bed.

You get what you pay. Material is too thin, it bends only with the compost weight. But for the price, is good enough

Raised bed
I've bought 3 of these raised beds and like them very much. Easy to assemble, but the changed from hex nuts to wing nuts this year, which don't fit under the cross bars, so I had to bjy some hex nuts to fit.

15 minutes
" It takes only 15 minutes to set up with no extra tools needed", more like 15 minutes to take the bloody plastic protection film off. Humour aside, it did take more than 15 minutes to put to set up, but it goes together pretty easy. Only needed instructions once, as the rest was pretty intuitive.
