Exceeded expectations (even 4 years later)
Easy-peasy to put together. I stripped the sod underneath where the beds were going to go and tilled in compost and manure, then assembled the beds on top of the prepared plots, then filled. I bought multiple sets to form a particular layout, and adding the sets together for the shapes and sizes I wanted was very simple and easy. Assembly of the entire 112 sq-ft garden took maybe 40 minutes? There are cross-pieces to put in between the middle posts for stability, but I actually only used the bottom one in each case, and that seems to be enough to stabilize and keep the long sides from bowing out. They are very attractive once set up, as well! Edit to add: 4 years later, this season I'm starting to see some breakdown of materials. Some of the corner posts are starting to disintegrate, as well as quite a few of the boards have warped and gotten soft. The center boards that are completely buried are definitely dissolving. I may have one more winter growing season before I need to replace some/all of it. But come on, FOUR YEARS of complete exposure to some significant moisture extremes (we bounce back and forth between drought and flood here in Houston) and blazing temps is going to take a toll. Being a realist, I still couldn't be happier with this purchase, and will likely replace with more of the exact same!
