Ordered 4 of these bad boys for our container garden. Planting a lot of veggies and herbs and these things are not only beautiful when they patina, (and it doesn't take long for that) they are virtually indestructible. We were thinking of making our own cedar raised beds, but we would have to rebuild them again in 5 or so years. So these may cost a little more than the DIY or wood route, but worth it in the long run. Very excited for planting years to come.
