This is working well on my small back deck. I bought it because it was elevated enough to plant some ornamental vines to grow on a privacy trellis. I put some ornamental kale in the front for the fall, but will like replace that with something that flowers and can hang over the sides in the spring. If you're doing veggies in this, it is big enough to fit about 9 heads of kale/lettuce, maybe twice as many carrots (I do think it's deep enough for root veggies). Looks just like the picture and was very easy to put together.
