We were really impressed with how easy this was to put together for two people. We bought four of the 16"W x 4'L  beds and were able to connect them into an L shape with a 16" square bed at the connection point. We did spend about $5 for a dozen 18" stakes to level the beds, which I recommend if your bed is going to be more than 6" above ground. Wish the sides were thicker but we're hoping the stakes will help prevent bowing after we add the dirt.
