Thirty inches saved my back
I pick lettuce standing upright now, and my knees are finished with ground-level beds. The 18 inch depth also means I can reach the far side comfortably without climbing into it.

Dimensions & care
Full dimensions are listed at the end of the Overview on every product page, taken from the finished piece rather than from a drawing. If a measurement matters for your space, write to us and we will check the actual item before it ships.
Care instructions ship with the product and are printed on the care label where there is one. Solid wood wants a damp cloth and an occasional oil; stone should be sealed once a year; wool and linen prefer a cold wash and drying flat.
Shipping & returns
Shipping is free on every order, with tracking, anywhere in the United States. We do not ship outside the US, so there are no customs charges or import duties on anything you order.
Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days and most orders placed before 2pm ET leave the same day. Typical delivery is 7 to 15 days from dispatch. Tracking arrives by email as soon as the carrier scans the parcel.
Thirty days to return anything unused and in its original packaging, with all fixings included. We cover the return shipping when an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered. If a piece arrives damaged, send a photo of the item and the outer box within 7 days and we ship a replacement without asking for the broken one back.
Outdoor & Garden
Waist height, so you are not kneeling on wet ground
Untreated cedar, thirty-six inches wide and thirty high, holding about three cubic feet of soil over a slatted base and liner. Cedar's own oils resist rot without anything leaching into what you are growing.

Which matters if you eat what grows in it
Pressure-treated timber holds preservative in the wood, inches from a root system you intend to harvest. Cedar does not need any: the heartwood carries natural oils that resist rot and insects on their own. Nothing to leach out, nothing to line against.
THE HEIGHT
Thirty inches is the entire reason to raise a bed
At standing height you weed and pick without kneeling on wet ground or folding over at the back. Thirty-six wide by eighteen deep is a reach you can cross from one side, so nothing ends up stranded in the middle where you cannot get to it.
DRAINAGE
Slatted base with a liner over it
The base is slatted rather than solid, with a liner laid across so the soil stays in and the water leaves. A planter that holds water kills roots faster than one that dries out, and this is precisely the part cheap raised beds get wrong.

What people say
4.7
Based on 101 reviews
Untreated cedar was the point
I grow food in it so I did not want pressure-treated timber anywhere near the roots. Took me closer to forty minutes than thirty to build, but it came out square and the slatted base drains well after a storm.
Can it stay outside all year?
Powder-coated metal and teak handle a full season outdoors without complaint. Through winter, cover the piece or bring the lighter items and cushions inside. What each piece is rated for is on its page.
Will teak go grey?
Yes, and that is normal. Untreated teak weathers to a silver-grey within a season without losing any strength — the colour change is on the surface. Oil it once or twice a season if you would rather keep the honey tone.
Are the outdoor lights safe in rain?
Anything listed for outdoor use is rated for it and the rating is on the page. Solar and battery pieces need no wiring at all; anything that plugs in needs an outdoor-rated socket, not an extension run out through a window.
What happens to cushions if they get wet?
The fabric is water-resistant, not waterproof. A shower runs off and they dry quickly, but a cushion put away damp will mildew from the inside out. Stand them on edge to dry before storing.
