Infinite Cedar Premium Cedar Raised Garden Bed - 1" Thick Wood (4' x 8' x 11" H)

Very good quality product. Unlike any kits I had seen, these boards are a full 1” thick (see photo) and were good quality, finished cedar. The assembly was very straight forward and easy. The boards were clearly labeled, hardware packet separated by sizes. The instructions were well written with clear pictures. The center connection of 4 ft boards (to make 8 ft length) had boards on both sides to “sandwich” the joint for better strength (see photo). Lastly, this was a great price. I considered just buying cedar boards on my own to build it and found that cedar is very expensive! And I could only find typical 1x6 boards which are less than 1” thick. Other kits I saw in person or on line looked cheaper, thinner and not much better a price. Great kit! Well worth the money.

I don't generally write product reviews, but the quality of this product blew me away. We wanted to create a vegetable garden in raised beds, and we did a lot of comparisons to be sure we were buying a product that would hold up. There are a lot of cheaper cedar boxes available, but they all seem to be made of 0.5-inch boards and apparently weak dovetail joints that don't hold up well. The Infinite Cedar kits cost a bit more, but they feature substantial, thick cedar boards and pre-assembled corner connectors. They also use heavy-duty bolts with locknuts and pre-drilled holes. This makes assembly virtually foolproof. The result is a stable, handsome, and substantial planter. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth, and then some! (The free shipping is also a big bonus because the thickness of the wood in these kits makes for a heavy package.)

Overall, I like this raise bed. Very easy to assemble. Looks very sturdy as well. I would’ve given it a 5 star if it don’t waste my time running to the hardware store just to buy secure nuts. This raised bed comes with washers, bolts and a nuts that have a seal ring inside that you can’t screw out of it. Which is the issues because without it you can’t tight seal pieces tight into place rather than super loose with gap and wobbly. The problem is it is design to look good but can’t seal the woods into place making it wobbly and has a loose gap so I have to go to my hardware store to get the the nuts that can ring into it and screw woods tightly and make the woods joined super tight. Without it it’s a wobbly loose box due to the manufactures nuts. The only minor thing I got to say that the nut seal it comes in don’t completely seal into tightly it only leave a big loose gap for your garden to wobble and not tightly joined into a tight raised bed. So fixed these nuts and it’ll be good.

I ordered one of these 2023 and got a second one now in 2024. Last time I had trouble to assemble everything like others mentioned. It still worked in the end and is holding up well but it was annoying. This time I had no issues. I don’t know if they adjusted the placement of the holes or if I followed the instructions better but it all aligned well this time! Don’t fasten until the very end like they instruct.

Assembly was easy and this feels significantly more sturdy than the box-store kit I bought. It also looks much better, even upon initial installation, compared to that kit. I just installed yesterday so cannot confirm how long this will last but the boards are much thicker and the joints are more stable than my prior kit.Photo is for comparison. Store-bought kit after three seasons on the left. This kit - brand new - on the right.

We are using this for a potty box for our new puppy. Left one layer of boards out on the end so she can get in while she is small. Will add it back later as she grows. We stained it with our fence stain to help it last longer. Super easy to put together and seems sturdy!

Very well put together kit. When they say "do NOT tighten bolts till all the pieces are put together" DO WHAT THEY SAY! Kit goes together perfectly but holes are hard to line up if bolts are snug. Just leave everything loose and you'll have no problem. Very nice quality product made with real cedar so I'm guessing it should last for several years. Would buy again.

The one-page instruction sheet addresses both 4X4 and 4X8 construction -which is confusing from the start. Is it really so hard to make separate instructions for each size? However, it's not that complicated so proceeded as best I could. Followed instructions to the letter. Assembled both ends of a 4X8 bed but found that the middle connector pieces are either not drilled correctly or the board sizes are wrong. I don't think the board sizes are wrong because they're all the same. In addition, when adding the top, second layer of boards, they don't fit. One side can be made to fit by leaving a gap in the corner but when assembling the other side's top boards, they are too long. Am about to completely disassemble and try again. Would not buy again. UPDATE: put back together, holes still not lining up, ended up drilling about a dozen holes to make it fit together. Looks great and will probably last a long time.
