Purchased a few beds for a new garden and assembled them in an 8' x 2' configuration. Everything went together well, but there are a lot of screws. Helpful to have an assistant to hold things as you join panels. I did not, so it isn't essential. Also cannot imagine doing this without some type of power tool. Panels seem well made, as is hardware. Hoping I get good growing results and many years of service from these beds. After pricing cedar and other options, these seemed like my best option. I'll check if I can add to this review as the growing season progresses.
