Thanks for the review, I love the metal legs they keep the rodents from getting into my garden. I've had Cedarcraft garden going on 2 years now. I agree about the green house, I have 2 gardens and one of them got beat up during winter.
I did not think about the metal legs and rodents. That's awesome...I won't complain about them anymore. Nice to know that your planters are still going strong after 2 years. Thanks for sharing your experience, and thanks for stopping by my channel and for your kind comment.
Nice review, honest, transparent and unbiased. However, the first 2 cons are not fault of the manufacturer of the bed. Because the top part is not part of the structure of the bottom and the legs bending coild be from abuse from previous owner snd as i observed the bed is overfilled woth dirt, shoudk go max 2/3 high snd not 4/5 high IMO, as you clearly mentioned in that the previous owner overfilled. The vototming out part is probably due to a combination of the misisnf screws, some untightned, overfilling of water, placing garden in excess heat that can cause warping. Otherwise it is still. Greya product. I ourchaed mines from nee and zero issues if used as per manufacturer recommendation and for small plants thst dont go too vertical or horizontal or demand too much water. It is perfect for tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, cilantro, etc just dont bet ln regular sized carrots or potstoes which demand a lot of water and are naturally heavy
By the way, you might like the video I made a couple of days ago, where I talk about pretty much all the things that you mentioned in your comment above. Thanks so much for your thoughtful explanations!
I like the better safe than sorry approach, but I want to give the planter a chance to shine without additional help from me. So risking it, we'll see how it goes. I will keep you all updated.
Please share any questions you might have...I will answer to the best of my ability!

Great input, thanks for sharing! Yes, I do believe following Mfr. Instructions and making sure screws are tight is key.

I would put support underneath before putting dirt in it

I have the same planter and it is constantly waterlogged.😢
Huh, interesting. I did not have that issue. But maybe in my hot dry weather, water evaporates super fast!
WHich soil to use so as to not make the planter heavy
Any soilless potting mix should work. And don't fill it all the way to the top
