Good product. Takes time to assemble, but is not difficult. Holds quite a bit of soil, so expect to spend as much on dirt as you did for the container. The finished product looks clean and can be moved around (empty) very easily until you find the right spot. The challenge I have is the sun! Tomato and bean leaves are roasting in the sun (12 hours a day in Southern Ohio), so a sun screen or a way to filter is needed, but this is not the container's fault. I'd recommend the container to any beginner or expert.

Omg I love this garden bed. If we had more space I'd have gotten more. It's durable and was super easy to set up. My little one loves to garden so she's been tending to it and everything is growing well. I appreciate the help with the soil suggestions and how to fill it (amount, type and how to layer).

After moving to a new house, decided it was time to use a nice raised bed set up instead of my usual in-ground raised beds of the past. We chose the Novel Series in Modern Gray because it matched the Gray and Light Blue color of the house and looks great next to the house. Each bed took me and the kids around an hour to completely put together. Very well made and packaged nicely. Nothing was missing, or damaged. We set up two of the 9 in 1 beds. Filled the bottom half with some already rotting logs and sticks before filling the rest with our homemade soil mix. One thing I did when assembling was to install one bolt in the bottom and another in the top. I did this all the way around the bed, then made sure it was level and started putting the rest of the bolts in. Once everything was connected and square, we then went around and tightened all of the bolts. Just stated planting them, can't wait to see how they do this year. Plan is to order a other 6 over the next few years for a total of 8 beds. Four are 6. 5x3. 5 and Four are 3. 5x5. Might need to see of I can order just the corner pieces, since I will have enough extra straight pieces to make another bed.

This was the first Vego raised bed I ever purchased but the fourth raised bed purchased this year. Clearly , I saved the best for last. Two of the other ones were metal and were fine but they just do not compare to the sturdiness and quality of the Vego. I am now a Vego convert. Despite a vow not to order any more beds, after being so impressed with my initial Vego bed, I just ordered anotherone to prepare for next year. As justifiction, I used the knowledge that the cheap little fir based bed that was purchased "to see if it would work" (note: it won't - I will be surprised if it doesn't collapse before October)will have to be replaced.

Why oh why is there SO MUCH TAPE and extraneous stickers on the outer box? We are told to use the cardboard to line the bottom but of course we can''t have plastics in the soil. Look at Amazon: they use paper based tape and it is easy to get off. I alsoI bought the 32* version some months ago. What a project for a 70 year old. . Same problem removing all the awful tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the 9 in one raised bed. I do like the color. Nothing special about it, it does the job. I do feel these are a bit too expensive for what you get, there are other types like these on the market for way less, but I liked the color and the novel design.

I decided to replace my 5-year-old cedar wood garden beds with Vego beds since the cedar wood became infested with termites from locally purchased soil. With the metal construction of the Vego beds, I won’t have the same problem and hope they will last a very long time. I also purchased bracing rods to reinforce the beds, as I’m adding compost at the bottom and garden soil on top. I like that these beds are slightly taller than my original 12-inch cedar beds

The beds are filled and only time will tell what I'll ultimately think about them. First impressions though, they feel pretty sturdy but they scratch incredibly easily. We had to be very careful putting them together. I worry what they'll look like after a season's use. Also, I'm very bummed that the cross brace does not work with the 3. 5x6. 5 configuration we chose. I really hope they won't bow! For the premium price tag, I was really surprised by these issues.

Love my new novel garden beds. Incredibly easy to put together. So modern in design. I use one to grow abundant flowers for my garden and the other for veggies & herbs. I purchsed them when they first launched. Have since purchased a cover for my veggie garden and hit has held up like fort in harsh east coast hardy winter. Must have.

At the beginning of my gardening journey two years ago, I bounced around what growing methods to try and what kind of bed to use. I first started off with a diy wooden bed. But over time, I didn’t like that it decomposed. Last fall, I got my first Vego bed and instantly loved the quality. I can say gladly that there isn’t any signs of rust or tarnish and my plants seem to growing perfectly. Just got myself two more to launch off this year :D
