Yimbly, an online discount marketplace owned by Reach PLC, is selling the Garden_Gear Wooden Planter for £89.99, or £81 with the discount code SUMMER10. This price undercuts Amazon, where the same planter is listed at £84.99.
Product Features and Benefits
Constructed from strong and durable wood, the raised planter is both attractive and practical. Its convenient height eliminates the need for difficult or uncomfortable bending while gardening. The dimensions are L100 x W70 x H80cm, making it ideal for narrow spaces. The unique V-shape allows for deep-rooted plants to be grown in a small area.
The planter is perfect for small-scale gardening, suitable for a variety of flowers, herbs, and vegetables. It also comes with a lining for easy setup.
Customer Reviews
Reviews on Amazon are mixed but generally positive. One gardener wrote: "Well constructed and strong. Easy to put together, but takes time to do so. Locking nuts are difficult because you need two spanners of the same size. For the price, the wood should have been pressure-treated, as this is an extra cost after assembly is complete. Also, washers should have been included with the bolts, as they pull into the softwood very easily. Overall, though, I am very pleased with it. A good buy!"
Another buyer added: "Easy to put together also comes with the lining for it. It is exactly the right size and height for me. The quality of the wood is very good."
Not all feedback was positive. One reviewer noted: "I was very happy with my item. The only thing that spoiled it was marks on the wood where the nylon ties had cut into it, so in the middle, the front and back have an indentation, which is disappointing."
However, a satisfied shopper said: "Pleased with this. Relatively easy to put together and nice and sturdy." Another wrote: "Bought for my daughter. It is very sturdy, has good depth and looks good in the garden!" A final consumer commented: "Love this. I have potatoes and a few carrots and onions in mine. It is disappointing that you have to 'weatherproof' it before use, but I was aware of that before I bought it."
