Easy to assemble but 2 people recommended
This came well packaged and when assembled it's pretty sturdy.I found it necessary to call in the wife to assist in the early stages to help hold pieces together while I attached the top and bottom bolts to each. Once all the parts were assembled and the bed stood upright with just the top and bottom bolts in place, then it was just a tedious job of screwing in the other ones. There are 7 bolts to attach each section together, 70 in total! Possibly excessive but it's not going to fall apart!I picked this item rather than one of the many other raised beds because it's taller and will hopefully save me from bending over as much. I haven't filled it full yet, wanted to get it planted for the summer/autumn and to see how things go.The only negative I can add it that the corner sections are coated in blue. This looks like it would be a long job to try and take off, but it didn't worry me so I left it on and I'm really happy with the item.

Solid, pretty easy to assemble, looks great and does the job.
I wanted a waist-high raised bed after getting inspiration from a YouTube channel ("self sufficient me"). That channel recommended a particular brand that's not available in the UK or at least not this size. This looked to be the closest alternative. As you can see from the photos it looks great and is very sturdy. My wife and I put it together without too much difficulty. One tip - put the washers on the inside rather than the outside! I was a little annoyed that the panels didn't line up perfectly but really it's not a big deal. I bought separately off Amazon some black rubber trim which fits perfectly and smooths out the bits where the panels are slightly out of line. I bought this trim "Standard black rubber car edge protective trim 14mm x 8.5mm FITS 1mm - 3mm".To fill the bed I followed the "hugelkultur" approach as learnt on the channel. I filled it with logs, branches, some turf I'd removed etc leaving a 30cm or perhaps slightly more for a mix of compost, good soil, rotted manure.The bed was shipped from Germany. I've since planted a variety of seeds and plants and everything is growing really well. It's an investment for sure but worth it in the longer term. It's so easy having the bed at waist level. This won't be the last one I buy.

Have just moved and bought these for my new garden - they are attractive and sturdy and I can’t wait for spring to plant out my veggies

Excellent quality
The media could not be loaded. Before putting together I put some gravel stones on the ground then put the raised garden planter on top of the gravel. Then put chicken wire inside the planter. Then I put cardboard down used the box it came in after taking the tape off. Then I started to put untreated timber old stuff, going to put a lot more old timber into the planter. Then some in going to put garden soil that I had after digging my garden to put wildflower down. Then the normal topsoil ext. Easy to put together just take it slowly. Put 2 long side together. Then put 2 corner sides on (1on each side. Then same all round.

In my opinion it needs bracing
Good communication from seller arrived at least one week earlier than expected- which was great. Love the colour easy to assemble. However, husband reinforced the central joints Decided to sink them in ground so they are now 40cm high very happy . Look sturdy expecting long life

looks great, needs basic diy skills.
We like the look of these planters so we got a second one. They are easy to put together for any DIYer but they did require a cross beam across the centre to ensure they were not going to bow out when filled. Very light and easy to move into position, especially with a cross bar fitted. They take allot of filling so we used the Hugelkultur method of filling 1/3 with garden waste (logs and leaves) , 1/3 with normal soil (took ours from a loam pile) and final third with the good stuff (shop brought compost and manure).

Not quite as described.
I bought this planter as a 6 part item, ( As shown in the picture) which would have been reasonably easy for me to assemble, however the item I received came in 16 parts. Much more difficult to put together. I'm approaching 80 and not as nimble fingered as i used to be. The Material is very strong and reminiscent of the WW2 air raid shelters which I used to play in, so I reckon that it will certainly outlive me. I'm looking forward to using it when my Son and Grandson are free to assemble it for me. It could do with a bracing piece in the centre section as I'm sure that once filled with soil it's going to bow outwards. The picture on Amazon needs to be changed or advice given to customers that they may receive a 16 part item, not a 6 part item.

Problem with bulges and gaps at the corners
This was OK except for the largish gaps at the corners when assembled. These are numerous (because of the corrugation) and would allow soil/water to leak out. When I assembled the unit I covered the insides of the corners with strong duct tape. I have no idea how long that will last. The other issue is that the unit bulges outwards at the centre of each long side, when filled with compost. I thought that this might happen and asked the manufacturer if there was a brace. There reply was that I could return the unit for a refund if I didn't want it.... I wish now that I had gone down to my local DIY store to see if there was anything I could have bought to use as a brace. Over the top would not do - it would have to be about half way down and installed before filling... I don't really fancy emptying half of the contents out...

Take your time
The biggest thing I learned in assembling four beds is to not tighten the bolts until all of them are in place. It is easiest to assemble with help. If you tighten the bolts as you go it makes the assembly much more difficult.

Tolles Hochbeet!
Das Hochbeet ist einfach "Klasse"! Ich habe lange gesucht, um an der Garage entlang auch etwas pflanzen zu können, ohne den Weg einzuschränken. Diese Beetform ist dafür eine super schöne Lösung.
