Comments about Two-Tier Raised Bed:
[...]Assembly was fairly simple, however instructions are not very detailed which could be a problem for some folks. The quality appears to be good overall, but it is rather lightly constructed - homeowner use only. If it can take exposure well I expect to get many years of use.

Comments about Two-Tier Raised Bed:
This two-tiered bed looks great in my lawn, very attractive. I put up one last year on an area of lawn that just never did well, and added perennial flowers to attract bees, butterflies and birds. It over-wintered well, with just a little color fading, and stood up just fine to the harsh Colorado winter. So I ordered two more, and set them up in a "T" design, and plan to add some more perennials and annuals this spring. They are a little pricey, but I expect them to last for years. I may even plant some carrots and radishes in one, although I have a big raised bed organic garden elsewhere in my backyard, as well. The lower tier is tall enough my dog doesn't even think about walking through it (although my cat needs to be reminded on occasion!)This was easy to assemble (had to read the instructions a couple of times) and the hardest part was carting the soil & compost in to fill it - takes quite a bit, so be prepared. Overall, this is a good quality product, and a simple way to beautify your yard and add more growing space easily.

Comments about Two-Tier Raised Bed:
The beds are very sturdy, well made and work well on all types of terrain. I put the beds together myself and was eventially successful. Use a rubber mallet to drive the connecting corner rods into the ground and you'll cut your construction time in half. The company needs to provide more clear instructions on how to assemble the season extending hoops. [...] I plan to buy a few more of these as I'm very pleased with this product.

Comments about Two-Tier Raised Bed:
I have purchased two of these for myself and one for my son. I can sit on my stool and work in my garden. So easy to plant and weed. Had great beets, carrots, radishes, cucumbers, and tomatoes this year. Going to purchase two more for me.

We use 2 of these to grow vegetables at school with Junior Master Gardeners. Our radishes and gourds were beautiful!

Comments about Two-Tier Raised Bed:
This is our 2nd raised bed. Our first was a success and we wanted to extend our garden. Purchasing a second was a must and it keeps the garden uniformed with the first. Easy assembly. No moles or other critters.

Comments about Two-Tier Raised Bed:
I have 2 of these beds, and like the interest that the second tier adds to the space. I have not noticed any deterioriation from weather after 1 full yesr of use on 1 bed (the other bed is newer).

THE RAISED BEDS ARE JUST WHAT A SMALL BACKYARD FARMER CAN USE. WITH THE HELP OF SUPPORTS, I HAVE RAISED SPRING & FALL- SPINACH, BROCCOLI, CABBAGE, CAULIFLOWER,RADISHES - SUMMER - CARROTS, TOMATOES, CUCUMBERS, SQUASH, ALL TYPES OF LETTUCE. I HAVE PURCHASED 4 SETS AND ARRANGED THEM IN A "U" SHAPE WHICH GIVES ME ACCESS TO ALL SIDES. I AM VERY SATISFIED AND HOPE THIS HELPS OTHERS. I READ REVIEWS AND THEY INFLUENCE MY PURCHASES.

Comments about Two-Tier Raised Bed:
what can I say! brought 2 first took an hour to build, due to a slight problem with the instructions but figured it out, 2nd 18 minutes! I timed myself out of ideal curiousity and that included having to deal with a crying child as twin brother hit him over the head with a car!The first set had a few of missing parts for the canopy and a couple of extra bits?? it was 2 weeks before I opened the second one and every thing was in order so thats when I phoned GSC for replacements [...].I have had no bowing of sides and I can't even bang my poles into the ground as the stones that pass for soil here, wouldn't allow that.due to the canopy poles, if it suited someone better to have 6 inch high beds, it would be very easy to make a 8x4 and a 4x4 if you where prepared to put up with longer poles or could be bothered to cut them to size, I am lazy and dispite the fact I can't level them into the soil, I have left them long anyway, not a problem.and would I recommend them, yes! I have on the garden webs forum! sounded like an ad! but I am pretty impressed by them and the price compared to other raised beds, and trust me I searched and reviewed for months before commiting to a purchase, so if you are not handy or don't want to replace bed every few years this is the product for you I will report back on how they fair in a CT winter but having seen other reviews I am not expecting problems.
