Assembly was straightforward, but takes a little time. Once assembled, they are very sturdy and the liners make filling easy and neat. Once installed and planted, they are quite attractive. They replace some cedar planters I built 20+ years ago and are better built, so I am confident they will last and look good for a long time.
I am so pleased with my planter. It was super easy to assemble. I was also grateful that there was info included for the amount of soil needed. Planted fall crops of cabbage and lettuce for the first time.
Quality is excellent and so was the packaging. Easy assembly, did it by myself in about an hour (2 18x48 planters). I have filled the planters with soil and installed a drip irrigation system. Planting will take place around mid October, when it cools down a little here in SW Florida. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for raised planters. They are also a good looking choice.
So very easy to put together. It has definitely exceeded my expectations.
You can see it newly put together and empty, filled with soil, and the final one, although hard to see is a row of baby carrots that sprouted,
I have a place all set out for a second planter and am anxiously waiting for it to be shipped.
I had no problem putting the unit together by myself. I followed the instructions and put it where I wanted it near the sprinkler system. We did not fill it with dirt until we moved it. The following morning I woke up and the whole front had sunk into the yard. Thankfully, I was able to gather people to lift it so we could put a secure foundation under it. I planted three plants inside of it. All of them are still alive, but not thriving.
It's easy to assemble and looks great.
I sprayed waterseal on all the surfaces before assembling. We're not using it as a planter, but as an outdoor garden sink.
I have greens, lettuce and herbs in mine and they are growing so fast. I couldn’t fit all the plants in it, I bought too many, do I planted some in pots and have kept them watered but they haven’t kept up at all with the others in my cedar box. I would love to have a cover that was only a bug screen, so plastic, for summer.
Very well-made, planter boxes, easy to put together. I had to create some “squirrel cages“ to keep the squirrels out of my lettuce. I will update you when my plants get big and gorgeous. Love the planters!
It was so easy to put together. It looks well made. My husband liked it so much he told me to buy two more. Now that’s a statement. My little gardening habit is very expensive and so when he says spend more, I say why not! Gotta keep the hubby happy. Or maybe he was thinking “happy wife, happy life!”
This was perfect for me since I don't have a backyard but wanted to start growing my own food like tomatoes and basil. Next up will be lettuce (since who can trust the supply chain at this point and at least I know where mine came from7). I've had it for several months and it's been fantastic! Easy assembly and it has thus far been great outside in the elements (California summer sun and entering the rainy season). I'm very pleased with this product and recommend it to anyone who wants to get into gardening regardless of their location.
Sadly it tilted some But it’s on soil a d we had some downpours. The back side is up to house.
Under eaves. The front side is open to the el. Swiss chard and lettuce coming up nicely.
The boxes are beautiful, easy to put together, and look great in the yard! The tops are really versatile and keeping everything bug, bird, and cat free! Great craftsmanship all around!
My daughter and I were able to assemble the planter in 20 mins.
The quality of the wood is very good. The hardware comes in a very luxurious zippered bag. The hardware was heavy, study and high quality.
We are both very pleased!
It was a little tough to put together. The front and back sides did not fit in as easily as I would have expected. I had to loosen all the bolts and use a rubber mallet to bang the slats in. It looks great now but it was not easy to put together and I have a lot of experience putting IKEA furniture and other flat packed items together.
We love the planter and made it even better. After staining the wood, my husband added locking casters and an additional support of channel iron around the bottom. We will likely set slatted boards into the channel iron to form a shelf. We live in a wind & hail prone location and are excited at the ability to just wheel the planter into the garage during storms and over winter. Otherwise it will live on a concrete pad next to the garage.
The product is great- it saves my crop from the bunnies. They are attractive and convenient for weeding and plant care. They were easy to put together and seem very sturdy.
But be patient waiting for delivery. It takes longer and my order was late once and completely lost once.
I was impressed that I put this together by myself. My son helped me carry it to the side of the house with the most sun and the hose can reach! My granddaughter helped me with the soil and plant seeds! It’s a family planter success! Everyone loves them!!
I made my planter a rock garden as a memorial to my husband who passed away. He loved to collect rocks and I thought it was a great way to display his collection.
We absolutely love our new planters. We've used them as the edging/railing between our new deck and the 100 year old oak that sits at the corner. They look amazing! We added a freestanding shelf inside(also made of cedar) that will allow us to exchange potted plants seasonally. Thank you Cedar Planters for the lovely boxes!

Absolutely love this addition to my cedar planter! The greenhouse cover is so well designed and I love that it has a mesh layer so things can breathe but also be more protected from pests. I’m excited to test it out this winter and see how long I can stretch my growing season! 🪴
The 2 raised gardens on the left have produced many tomatoes, peppers, and basil. The one on the right I only recently purchased and it will not be fully planted until the spring. I am a retired woman in my 70s and had no issues putting the gardens together and filling them with soil. I bought the third one because the first two worked out so well! I’m still learning and will use tomato cages next year to support my plants.
