17 Inch Tall 9 in 1 Raised Garden Bed Kit, Large Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium Stainless Steel Metal Planter Box, for Planting Outdoor Plants Vegetables (Green 1)

Vegega 9-in-1 17” Raised Bed:1.) Received with No shipping damage to the package. Hence, no damage to the package’s contents.2.) All components received verified to Amazon listing - nothing missing.3.) As expected, removing protective film from the panels took time.4.) Assembly was easy but time consuming.Vego vs Vegega:In November 2021, I ordered a Vego 9-in-1 17” raised bed. I am very pleased with the bed. Being curious about Vego’s competition, this November (2022), I ordered a Vegega 9-in-1 17” raised bed. I am also very pleased with this bed. The panel thickness (claimed to be .6mm) of both the Vego and the Vegega products appear to be identical. I do not own calipers to prove otherwise.What is different about these two purchases?The Vego panels had no paint defects whereas Vegega does have some tiny areas where the paint did not bond with the metal. After the plastic protective was applied to the Vegega panels, in a few places the plastic film and the panels had tiny scratches. No scratches were observed on the Vego panels. The edges of Vegega panels, along the sides with holes, are sharp; during packaging the sharp edge of one panel may have scratched another. The Vego panels did not have sharp edges although some reviewers did.Considerations:As of early November 2022, the Vegega 17’ 9-in-1 raised bed is $30 less expensive than the similar Vego product. The Vegega installation manual is much more comprehensive than the Vego installation sheet. A major bonus of the Vegega product is that it includes bracing rods whereas Vego does not. Bracing rods are not cheap. The Vegega raised bed assembly is faster than the equivalent Vego configuration as Vegega has fewer holes in its panels. Hence, there are fewer screws, nuts, and washers to fasten together; (Vego - 72, Vegega - 48). It is too soon to know if the extra fasteners of the Vego product provide extra strength. The Vego and Vegega fasteners are interchangeable; the screws and nuts are M6-1.00 in size.I expect both the Vego and Vegega products to last at least 20 years.

This raised bed is sturdy and love the color. Takes two to assemble but not difficult. To save on soil costs, filled the bottom with cardboard, then logs and sticks, then leaves, then added soil. I plan to add a second one next year

Didnt have any complaints,arrived in perfect condition.

It is unusable. I intended to use it for a small vegetable garden so I would not have to bend over. I am 81 years old and I am so disappointed in myself that I made such a horrible purchase.

Easy assemble, cute, doesn’t rust.

The media could not be loaded.  It was perfectly laid out brilliantly. You can see it was down to a science how easy it went together. Crazy me but I did not like it so long. Eight feet ? Anyway I ended up buying another one exact same color and took a panel from the long to add to the new one, so I have two shorter soft green pair. I knew the pieces will be interchangeable because it is quality! People love them and I haven’t planted in them yet! 🌱🌿🌻
