Review of Garden Beds on Amazon.
-If I have time and inclination, I will add photos when my beds are complete. They look nice and based on the materials should last much longer than wood.
-However, if you don’t have the patience of an Angel then beware of buying.
-The assembly is not a challenge intellectually. It is just attaching each piece together with nuts and bolts.
-The challenge is all of the freaking shrink wrap they put on EVERY part. The worst of this are the nuts and bolts. Instead of just being bagged, they are shrink wrapped and each one sticks to the wrapping. Some of them I can’t even get out of the wrapping. My fingers are raw from trying to get each one free of the plastic.
-Each framing piece is also shrink wrapped. Some are easy to remove others hard.
-Would I buy again? Maybe. It is the look and longevity of materials I wanted. I just had to say a meditative mantra throughout the whole process of putting them together in order to keep my sanity.
