Great raised planter box!
Before buying, I read all of the 1-star reviews, but since the majority of reviews were good, I decided to take a chance. Maybe I was lucky and got an easy-to-assemble unit. While NO TOOLS were needed to assemble this unit (except for 8 included screws to screw the top corner pieces on - see pic), I needed the help of hubby to hold one end post up straight as possible while I held the other end post up straight as possible so we could jointly slide the slats into the grooves. Before putting the unit together, I knew I wanted to put wheels on it so I could move it around, so I bought a 4-pack of wheels at HD for about $5. Once I put the wheels on, the unit seemed just a tad wobbly, and I feared once I added the weight of the dirt, it might collapse on me when I tried to roll it to a new location. So I went back to HD and purchased wood slats to create lower support bars, which I leveled and screwed into place, and now it is pretty sturdy (again, see pic with wheels and added support bars). I would have given this 5 stars if the wheels and lower support bars had been included (even if it raised the price a little).
