It's HUGE
The 8 / 4 / 2 garden. Bed is huge, and unless you have a large backyard, I would not suggest this particular bed for any beginner. I ordered two beds and after putting together the first one I decided to turn the second one into two smaller two by four garden beds due to the size.
One thing that was annoying was having to take all the plastic off of the garden bed itself was very time. Consuming, although it protects the product, it took at least an hour to get all of the plastic off. The second thing for the larger bed, you either need to improve the internal support to make it more solid or you need to offer multiple supports throughout the garden bed. I ended up having to place additional boards in the garden bag to give it more stability.

Loosing my faith
Vevor what were you thinking? Putting this thin wanna be Reynolds wrap on the metal? It takes more time to tear this stuff off in little pieces than it does to put the bed together. Not happy at all. Would be better off not putting this on there.

Garden bed review 1 year
Comes in many short pieces. The metal is super thin and flimsy. It was easy to put together. The paint on the metal has held up.

Disappointed in fasteners
I bought 3 of these last year and love the convenience of a raised bed but they took an hour each to assemble because of the wingnut fasteners. I was excited to get these new ones because the fasteners were supposed to be different cutting the assembly time way down. I just opened a box. Guess what? Wingnut fasteners. There goes 3-4 hours of my life that I didn't anticipate wasting:(

Quality not great
I wanted a larger bed for some plants that are large. I purchased this to put in the back of my yard where it really isn’t seen. I didn’t want to pay a lot for this reason. I assembled this myself it took about 3 or 4 hours, there is a lot of hardware. Once I put it together you need two people to put it in place because it is large and flimsy so if you try to move it yourself you risk bending a joint or the wall. Once in place it takes a lot of dirt. As I was filling it I started to notice the sides starting to bulge towards the bottom. It does come with supports that tie the long walls together. That support is also very flimsy so I can see why the sides started to bulge out. It will be fine for my needs for now but I wouldn’t purchase again. I purchased an additional bed that I was putting in an area that would be seen from my patio which I purchased from a different company which was much more expensive but the quality is so much better. You get what you pay for.

Decently made, fairly priced
Somewhat time-consuming to assemble... sides bowing in out of vertical. It may be that I needed to compact the soil more, but had thought the weight of all the soil would be sufficient.

I'm questioning they quality
These are not the easiest to put together. The instructions on where to put the center support bars was not very clear. After filling with dirt the boxes began to bow. I can't imagine that they're going to last very long which is a great disappointment as I bought quite a few of these..

Homeowner
The raised bed took way too long to put together. Nots and bolts would have been more practical so a socket set cold have been use. The metal strapping that is used to prevent bulging is extremely inadequate as once I placed soil inside, it had a bulge anyways

Mr
Reasonably priced, however they are very flimsy - the internal supports are basically worthless - I used T-posts around the perimeter to help keep the walls semi-straight! I’ll use them to support my vegetables as well. I won’t buy them again!
