If you're expecting an outdoor garden bed that is like an antique piece of furniture that is highly polished and super well made, where you only touch it once a year on holidays, this isn't it.  This is a mass produced, super reasonably priced product that is meant for dirt and the outdoors.  The boards may be a little rough, the slots may not be aligned to the most perfect fit, and there may be some leftover sawdust in the grooves, but it's really easy to put together and it looks great. There are directions with it, right on the shipping box, and if you do what it says by using a mallet to knock the tighter fitting boards in (I used a regular hammer), you'll have no problems. Most importantly, it's MADE IN THE USA!
