Bought 2 of the metal flower beds and they were easy to put together. The instructions were simple, perhaps too simple. One of the wing nuts was stripped and the rubber to attach on to the rim was damaged and only sent for one of the two planters. Haven’t used the planters yet, only just put together so I cannot comment on any long term wear and longevity. But as of now, I’m satisfied with the way they look and price. Fingers crossed.
