Very pleased with this product. Very easy to put together and the finished product looks very nice. All of the pieces were included in the shipment. We didn't even read the instructions because assembly was simple and straight forward. Some of the wood pieces are splintery but it’s easy to look past especially considering the price and does not change the stability or functionality of this product. 5 stars for ease of assembly and pleasing look! I highly recommend this product and this company!

Inspiration from this brand
Reasonable expectations = VERY satisfied customer.
Yes, the boards are cheaply made, roughly cut, require heavy sanding, and come stamped on the "finished" side as often as not. Yes, there are knots and checks and splits and bowed boards.This is borderline cull lumber, to be honest, especially right now when quality lumber is shockingly expensive. If I were at the hardware store pulling boards for this project, 50% or more of what I got in these boxes would be left behind as 'not good enough'.Yes, this kit takes several hours to condition before it's ready to be used. You will be sweaty, you will be achy, and you will have to get good high-quality weatherproofing sealer if you want it to last more than a few months. Skimping on finish work means you'd soon have a soggy, rotting, pulpy grey mess that needs to be thrown in the next convenient dumpster.Which is why I only paid around a hundred dollars for a 4x8 raised bed!Shopping this thing out per-board, and doing it 'properly', would cost three or four times as much. Plus I don't have to dovetail the ends or jig out the corners - and despite the handful of boards that are massively bowed, everything fits tightly together as intended (the bows are naturally straightened out once you mallet them into their tracks).With these kits I am paying for their labor in cuts, and for their assembly of all required materials into one organized package... not for the best possible lumber. It's a trade-off, and (IMHO) a worthy one at that.I actually enjoyed the process of fine-tuning this bed to meet my appearance standards, and I knew if I was buying cheap I was going to have to invest some sweat equity into the end result. Not only did the bed turn out looking great, I've actually had it countersunk into the ground about four inches and the wood has held up beautifully. I just ordered and finished off a second 4x8 kit to double up on space, and I plan to join them together at a 90-degree angle to turn the corner of the house - the flexibility these kits offer is a huge plus.Both shipments were missing some accessory pieces (corners and tops), but the seller was responsive and I had replacements within a few days. They also sent spare boards in both sets so I could toss the worst of the raggedy ones and still have a full kit.So please, before leaving negative reviews or complaining about the quality of the lumber, understand you're getting a hella low price for the volume of goods sent, and you're paying off the rest of that price in labor to finish it to a reasonable standard of appearance. DO NOT expect a ready-to-go out-of-the-box kit. You won't get it. But a fun, invigorating project for springtime that gives you a sense of accomplishment when it's done? That, I can get behind.The ONLY reason I don't give five stars here is that their claim that the boards are "sanded on one side" is offset by the fact that the yard-stamps are often found on the 'sanded' side, requiring you to re-sand that side anyway. A mouse or palm sander makes quick work of erasing them, but the first set I had to do manually and it was a real PITA. If Greene's is open to suggestions, may I recommend that they supply boards that don't have the yard-stamp on the sanded side? It would help tremendously.I used two kits to make a box turtle sanctuary and hibernaculum, and even the ground-contact boards, when properly treated, have held up very well.

The only Con i see is that Id prefer the edge caps to be rounded especially when I have kids playing in backyard. Some of the wood pieces are splintery but it’s easy to look past and does not change the stability or functionality of this product. Getting a good harvest from this fine raised garden. I’ve compared many different companies, reviews. This is the best. I won’t have to worry about replacing it for several years since it is made of cedar and find comfort that chemicals won’t leech out into my soil.

Does the job but a huge disappointment in attention to detail
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021
I had originally planned to apply weather sealer and leave wood natural or apply a stain that matched my awning. This was not possible as most of the boards were printed with ugly black ink on the sanded side and I will be forced to paint or spend hours sanding off the print. Lots of splinters as they only sanded one side of the boards. Many boards were warped and cracked. I had to be careful about which boards I put on the outside of the frame . Mallet was nessessary because some of the dovetailed joints were not uniform. Would be worth the price if they did not send me marked up and damaged boards and they sanded all the cutting edges and inside facing boards. It's harder to apply weather sealer on the raw edges. Assembly was easy and the dovetailed construction allowed me to link together multiple kits.Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021
