KING BIRD Raised Garden Bed 68"x 36"x 12" Galvanized Steel Metal Outdoor Garden Planter Box Kit with 2 Pairs of Gloves (Dark Grey)

This King Bird raised bed was quite surprising. The construction is very flexible but sturdy. It had a nice clean look with lots of room for growing. Construction was quick and easy, and it has lots of room. Definitely a great purchase.

This is my 7th Kingbird raised bed. These are easy to put together and look great. My last order was missing some corner pieces on delivery, so I contacted seller support via email. Betty was very helpful and took care of everything. I received the missing connectors promptly. Definitely recommend these beds.

OK - so I bought two of these. I did NOT read the reviews before I bought (which is a good thing b/c I prob wouldn't have purchased if I had read about the difficulty assembling)...BUT WAIT... I have good news! The first one took forever until I watched the video in between the first and second garden box assembly....and focused my attention to the 10mm you need to have spaced on each of the right and left sides when sliding on the metal sliders on top and bottom (this WILL make your life so much easier when assembling so PLEASE watch the video)...This is a great product for the price and especially if you need to buy more than one for lots of veggies. Here's the deal....the instructions say that you don't need any tools...YOU DO. You need a Rubber Mallet (for sure) and a drill and lots of screws (which they say is optional...IT'S NOT if you want this to last more than one season (screws will keep it lasting for years to come if you add enough of them (and I didn't use the tiny screws they provide as an "optional step", I used longer sheet metal screws and pre drilled a hole before screwing the sheet metal ones in - make sure your predrill hole (use a drill bit that is thinner than the width of your screw). Now for the real deal....Me and my dad (you need two people for this assembly) started off assembling the first one. Took us 3 hours and after two bloody fingers from cuts (I didn't wear the gloves they provided and learned my lesson the hard way - WEAR THE GLOVES even when taking out of the box as that was my first major injury. The directions are not great and so that is why you should watch the video first. it's NOT easy to slide the metal bars on top and bottom so slide it on half way and use the rubber mallet to pound it the rest of the way (by having one person hold the side as you pound the slider in with the mallet) and pay very close attention to having equal inches of exposed aluminum on each of the left and right side!!!! If you do this, assembly WILL only take you about half hour vs. my first attempt at over 3 hours. Assemble the two long sides first before you attempt the corner brackets - and after it's all assembled, I put in 4 sheet metal screws on each corner - 2 on top of corner piece and 2 on sides of the corner piece (through the metal and into the aluminum (need to go very slow with drill when working with metal as you predrill and put pressure with fingers underneath as you work thru metal and aluminum) - Then I added two screws on each long side pieces directly in the aluminum where the two pieces meet. Now it is STURDY and ready for the weight of 10-12 bags of soil pressure - sorry for the long winded review but I just didn't want someone else to feel like checking themselves into a looney bin after trying to assemble without knowing these facts :)

Quality construction. Item well packaged for shipping. We have tried cheaper versions of raised beds, and this one by far exceeds ease of assembly and quality.

I really do love my race garden bed. I don’t have to do a lot of bending overs and it’s very deep so worked well for my beats and carrots. It’s very sturdy and the color green is really nice.

The finish product appears to be of good quality and makes above ground gardening fun. It must be assembled on a flat service such as the garage floor or the driveway and it takes an additional person to hold the panels while they are assembled.

3/5 starsoverall: works good enough!◽️deducted for sturdiness, thickness of box walls, quality, and beginning ease of assembly.◽️notes decent pricing, fast shipping, lightweight equipment, coloring, and capacity of boxes.▫️ i don’t think they’re super sturdy, especially at the corners, but they do well enough for my small backyard garden. you might want better quality ones than this brand for your front yard or landscaping BUT they do hold a lot of soil & plants. additionally, the coloring matches what is advertised (unless you accidentally scratch an edge with a locking piece while assembling, like i did)▫️ since they are open bottom so the roots can grow down further and whatnot, it makes them less structurally sound. they’re also made of pretty thin sheets of galvanized steel that i had to pry apart when assembling. these sheets tend to lean outward under the pressure of added soil once assembled.▫️i put it together mostly by myself with help flipping them over and hammering in the locking pieces from lil bro. the instruction manual is virtually useless and there is a bag of unnecessary screws sent in the package. i was frustrated and confused at first but once i figured out what i was doing and watched the video tutorial, it wasn’t that hard. realistically it would take maybe an hour or so per garden box (2 sheet x 1 sheet rectangle)
