Giantex Raised Garden Bed, Elevated Planter, Metal Plant Box with Legs, Standing Garden Stand, Indoor and Outdoor Grow Container for Vegetables and Flowers (25" L x13W x18 H)

This planter is colorful and sturdy. It was the second one I ordered so I knew what I was getting into regarding the shrink wrap. As I was removing some very slowly I wondered if hot water would weaken its hold. Yes it does! Took me a portion of the time removing it from each piece.

This planter is exactly as described. My husband easily assembled it. It is a beautiful bright green exactly as shown in the picture. Sturdy once put together and a good height to work in easily. The holes in the bottom are pretty big so I covered mine with some coconut fiber like you line planters with. I wanted the water to be able to drain while holding the dirt in. The pieces are covered in a tight shrink wrap that IS hard to remove, so be prepared to sit for a bit to peel off stuck on plastic. It comes off cleanly, but takes awhile. It's really pretty and a good planter to grow a few plants in.

Every single piece of this planter comes coated with that peel-off thin plastic film. It was a real hassle to get off. Possibly I could've just left it on, but you know how it is--once you start peeling, it's hard to stop. Besides, I wanted to paint them black to match my black house, so that plastic film had to go. MASSES of it went into the film recycling.Assembly wasn't terribly complicated, but I bought three of them at once, and it certainly paid to have a power screwdriver, the right size hex wrench to hold the nut, and a table or raised surface big enough to lay the pieces out on. They do come with little rubber feet to protect a painted surface. I'm VERY happy with the outcome, but getting there was a bit of a challenge.

I had purchased one of these several years ago, and decided to get another so that I could have matching planter boxes outside under my sunroom windows. I have left the one outside for all these years, and the color faded just slightly on the inside, but the outside still looks great. I replace the annual plants in it every spring. Other planters have toppled over in the high winds, and I've lost several ceramic ones to the elements, but this planter has withstood the extreme weather. Now I happily have two matching ones. My only issue is that the plastic wrap coating is time-consuming and somewhat difficult to remove before assembly. However, I am delighted with how they look..

Perfect planter for my herbs and tomatoes in my backyard. Easy assembly that I did it myself in less than an hour for the two I bought. Very sturdy.I get lots of compliments on the planter. The green color is eye catching. At our neighborhood yard sale, everyone asked about the planters! I used liners so storing them in the winter will be easy.Great value for a great pop of color this summer!

I really like this planter. High quality, easy to assemble, and it looks great. The only problem is the protective film. You can't leave it on because it has markings and would really not look great... And it took forever to peel off.

The good: nice planter, easy to assemble. The bad: every surface of every piece is covered with a plastic adhesive film that is horribly difficult to get off. You can spend hours with this stuff and still not get it all off. On one of my planters I gave up and just left a lot of the stuff on. I can't overstate how nasty this stuff is. I write lots of amazon reviews, and this is the first one I've ever written that is negative based solely on the packaging. So if you're considering buying one of these be warned, unless you enjoy frustration and wasting time, stay away. I will add that the paint underneath the film seems to be of inferior quality and is very easily damaged.

The color is nice, it’s easy to assemble. But the plastic film that covers every square inch of it is a nightmare. It’s under the bent metal and impossible to get off. Had this been Amazon prime with free returns I would have returned it once I realized I had to take all the plastic off.
