★☆☆☆☆
Good idea; poor quality of materials and execution. Not recommended
Not a great product, the sizing is all wrong. Like other reviewers I saw a lot of cracking in the pieces as I slid them together. It was clear that the tongue and groove design was not well sized and either each piece had expanded/contracted a bunch of they simply were not sized well. Multiple of the edge pieces started cracking as I slid them in, I got almost all of them together but of course one corner post broke in two. There is no good way to repair it and I was unable to get a replacement of just that piece (to get a refund I would have had to take apart the now 90% built planted and find a way to repack it). Now the planter is built and supported in one corner by a bunch of extra bricks that I had. If it had gone together without breaking at least it looks nice and is easy to move around. However given the shoddy work I'm now concerned that my planter bed will fall apart this season and I'll wind up with just a garden "mound" by the end of the year. It was slightly easier than going to the store for extra lumber and building one myself, but the end result now will aggravate me all season while building from scratch would just aggravate me for an afternoon.
