I love the slate color and modern design of the Vego garden beds! They are easy to assemble and well-designed. The only downside—and a helpful tip for others—is that there is a protective plastic film on both the inside and outside of the panels. This isn't clearly mentioned in the instructions, so we didn't realize it until assembling a second bed. While the film provides great protection, it's very well-affixed and time-consuming to remove. In fact, peeling it off takes longer than putting the bed together! I appreciate the effort to protect the paint, but there has to be a more efficient way. A simple note in the instructions would make a big difference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to have received my beautiful Vego Novel raised bed. It was pretty to put together for an 81 year old girl and husband. So happy with my purchase and looking forward to growing an incredible garden. Never too old to start💕❣️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the blue garden boxes, they aren't as blue as pictured. They are very very light blue/ grey. They were easy to put together. I haven't had them long enough to determine if they rust or longevity.

My first raised bed was from a competitor and it was ok. However I found the Vego Garden 17” better quality, especially the protective vinyl strip on the top. The other raised bed's trim strip was flimsy, difficult to fit on the metal edges and I needed to use electrical tape to secure the end. Vego Garden protective trim is thicker, pushes on firmly and stays on and appears much more protective.

We picked up 4 of the 17" 6 in 1 Novel beds. Should have purchased the 9 in 1 but we worked with what we had. We cannibalized an extra panel from one of the four so that our beds were a bit longer and used the corner pieces to make a round bed for some late season salad greens. Overall we are pleased with the beds. We like that they came with magnetic labels that could be used to designate what was planted in a given row or area. Also liked the styling of the beds with the flat section sandwiched between the corrugated top and bottom. Finally the fact that they are on sale didn't hurt either :)

Absolutely love my 6 in 1 Novel raised beds! I bought one to add a Raspberry bed to my garden, I was so impressed with the look and quality I immediately bought a second to use as a center focal bed filled with herbs and my favorite plants. Love the flexibility in design that allowed me to customize for the different spaces / plants the beds were solving for. Very high quality with matching style.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Novel 6 in 1 bed quickly, had no problem with assembly. I did also order the trellis 2 weeks later which I love. The trellis takes 2 people to place into the affixed brackets which was frustrating to say in the least. Next time I will put the lower bracket and sides in first. I'm growing vertical squash which I have covered with bug netting. I hand pollinate and control how many squash I get. Win win situation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bed is outstanding, all pieces were expertly wrapped with instructions easy to understand. Added items, name tag, a tool and a sticker. We bought the trellis assembly to add to the bed, installation was easy. After purchasing one, we have purchased two more. Fall is Florida's best growing season, we are ready for seedlings. Thank you for quality product and a quality company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product came in a surprisingly small package and was very easy to assemble (for my husband). The screws on the bottom were a little harder to tighten and access. There were a few scuff marks, but I'm sure it will get a lot more being outside so that didn't bother me. We got the 17” novel in gray. I wish the 32” ones came in gray too. The color was the deciding factor (probably not the best reason, but we wanted something that looked good in our yard and didn't look like clutter). The other reason why we went with Vego is that the material is food safe. This was one information we couldn't find with other manufacturers. We have planted strawberries and veggies. We'll see what grows (the strawberry plants have already been consumed by squirrels)!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple installation once you get a rhythm but takes longer than 30 min. It was nice to have the included tools. The rubber around the edging is a nice touch. Metal does bend easily so be careful when you are filling. Looks very good finished.
