Customer Reviews for VEVOR Raised Garden Bed, 48.2 x 24.6 x 11 inch Galvanized Metal Planter Box, Outdoor Planting Boxes with Open Base, for Growing Flowers/Vegetables/Herbs in Backyard/Garden/Patio/Balcony, Silver

The garden beds seem sturdy and the actual assembly was easy. However there was plastic that was extremely annoying to peel off (for reference I ordered 6 beds and each one took me about two hours just to peel plastic. Actual assembly after peeling was less than an hour. This was inconvenient but I understand wanting to protect the product. My main issue is that with no damage to the boxes and all of the super annoying plastic wrap, almost every panel of every garden bed was scratched anyway. Many were deep gouges I assume were made during production since they were beneath the undamaged plastic. Very frustrating and now I’m concerned these beds I spent hours peeling plastic from and assembling are just going to rust anyway. I guess time will tell. The size and price are great but having ordered other beds from two other companies (all of which had not a single scratch beneath the plastic that was easier to peel), I’m hesitant to recommend these. I’ve had great luck with vevor products in the past so I’m very disappointed. Out of 6 beds not a single one had less than 4 panels that were damaged.

I prefer last year's model. The inner support system is flimsy, and my container containers are buckled.

Also with this one no liner included , no protective band for the top . Those where in previous order that i have done .

I bought it a week ago and filled it 3/4 to the top with soil. First, it was very easy to build, even though the instructions are inadequate. The finish is great and it looks good in the garden. I think there's insufficient support bracing from side to side. There's only one * shaped cross brace and the sides are starting to bulge out between the brace and the ends against the weight of the soil. I would happily pay more for 2 additional braces. I've used Vevor about 10 times and am very happy with the value and quality of everything I've received up to this point. I'll continue to be a customer but I'm skeptical about the durability of this raised bed.

I bought 6 of these to use in my vegetable gardens. To start, peeling the plastic off the panels was awful. It ripped and didn’t come off easily. Second, the metal edges are sharp! Even with the gloves that are provided, the metal cuts right through. My daughter was injured pretty badly with one of the edges just by walking past it as it was being built. Building was not bad, instructions were simple to follow. That’s probably the only pro to this product. Lastly, the beds are wobbly and not sturdy at all. Even with the center posts to keep it stable, once you add planting material, soil, etc they cave in anyway so pretty much pointless. I am actually really disappointed in these, for the price it could be better. Maybe use foam instead of the plastic sheeting covering every single inch that takes on average 2 hours to peel. Safety concerns are high with the metal sharp edges. That needs improvement asap before someone gets seriously hurt.

The 2ft deep beds are not well supported to prevent deforming from the weight of the dirt. The 1ft beds have 3 supports along the length to hold their shape but the 2ft deep have only one support in the middle. The design of this support has a central hub which will get pressed down and pull the sides in. To prevent this, you must cut a supporting piece to fit snugly under the hub and prevent it from moving. Then, slowly fill the bed from the outside edges in. Otherwise they tend to get pulled in and deformed. Otherwise, it's a good bed.

There's a plastic wrap on the panels which was absolutely impossible to get off and one panel was scratched up. Structurally it's okay and setting up fairly straight forward but the instructions were very lacking.

Nearly every panel is scratched. Terrible.

Not a fan of wingnuts but it went together easily enough. Problem I had is metal is too thin . Bent one just positioning it

It's very hard to keep it straight.
