Love everything about this planter. It arrived perfectly packaged. No damage. Everything we needed to assemble it was included. It did take three of us about 1.5 hrs to assemble. Simple, but time consuming, with all the nuts and bolts. Good strong garden box. My engineering brother was impressed . It could be 2 to 4 inches shorter. I have a good friend who bought one also, she’s only about 5‘4“ and it’s a little too high for her. I’m thinking the same objective could be had if it was only about 28 to 30 inches high. But I love mine. I’m 5’8”.
