Let's be honest, if we wanted something looked beautiful and super solid, we'd buy the $700 cedar planters. I was pleasantly surprised about the quality as I wasn't expecting it to be super sturdy. Hopefully the metal will last but I'm also not expecting miracles. This is a great price for the size and what it is.
Assembly was easy. In classic fashion I looked at the picture on the front of the instructions and just started to put it together in completely the opposite order suggested on the back. It was still easy. You'll need a screw driver and wrench as it has nuts. There's a lot of them which is why it takes a while. It came with extra bolts and nuts as well in case you strip some.
The unrolled edges are sharp which is to be expected. The hardest part was putting on the plastic feet and caps but a quick smack on the floor solved it. I would recommend doing that first as your very first step.
Seems sturdy and there are crossbraces along the bottom with drain holes in each of the corners. Nothing in the middle but if you were really that worried you could drill a few. There's corner brackets in each corner as well.
Took a picture of the bottom of anyone is worried about the structural integrity. I feel like the legs might be the weakest point but the bottom shelf helps stabalize.
Overall I'm very pleased with how it came together and the cost. Time will tell how long it will hold up.
