I just bought this 6'x3' garden bed to replace an old wood one that finally succumbed to the elements. It was so easy to put together and I especially like how light but sturdy it is. It will be a breeze to move if I need to. The edges were not sharp like with other metal beds and I like the design of the corner pieces, again, no sharp edges. I fully expect this one to last quite a long time. It has a nice coating on it and looks like it would not be hot to the touch in direct sunlight.
