The Vego 9 in 1 raised bed arrived in excellent condition and was of a better quality than expected. The side panels are made of a very sturdy material. Once all of the protective plastic is removed from both sides of each panel and the nuts, bolts and washers are separated assembly was quick and easy. I did the 2' x 8' configuration so i also order and installed two support bars just for peace of mind. Over all I am very happy with my purchase and plan on ordering the child's garden raised bed to be put in a tight spot.
