My sister and I put together this set of wooden raised beds this afternoon. We didn't need any tools to do it, but gloves are a good idea, because the wood is a little rough, and splinters are possible. We were careful, and had no trouble. I would say that the quality is good enough for the price. One board split a little, as we forced it into place, but it still worked. The set comes in two boxes, that are a little on the heavy side, but we were able to carry one each unassisted. It took us under an hour to put all the wood slats and upright corner pieces together. You can configure them as shown, or make a separate smaller raised bed. That's what we did. We're happy with the set and figure we can grow 4 tomato plants, some peas, sage, basil and parsley, with plenty of space to let them grow. Maybe we can fit a cucumber plant in there as well. We're ready to grow now. Delivery was fast, too.
