I could not be more pleased with the Vego Garden planter. We assembled two in about two hours. assembly is mostly taking off the plastic paint protectors and screwing in a number of nuts and bolts. Nothing tricky or exhausting about getting them put together. I love the height and chose these because they were tall. I can stand and garden which makes it so easy. The height also allows your plants to grow straighter roots that won't tangle easily, making for healthier plants. This is a high quality product. I would expect them to have many years of use.
