Promising review: "This is one of my favorite purchases for the patio. It's super sturdy, has two roomy shelves. We got it just in time for my son's outdoor movie birthday party and it held so many drinks! It will look great at the pool for cocktails and I've even brought it inside as a bar cart." —anninsf

Promising review: "This raised bed is very affordable. The bed looks thin and flimsy at first, but once it is set up, it is very sturdy even though very light to carry around empty. I also appreciate that this is a foot tall and not too shallow like some other raised beds being sold. This is an excellent product and I would recommend it highly for what you are paying for." —JT

Promising review: "I’m impressed with these. Assembly was very easy and took little time. I assembled them inside my house and moved them out to the garden afterward. These are good weight to them, even when empty. They feel and look like a high quality product. I used a staple gun and lightly tacked the liner up to the edges of the bed. This made the beds much simpler to fill with soil. A few days after filling with soil and seeds, we had six days of all-day, non-stop rain. The beds held up beautifully and show no signs of wear. I am currently growing a whole crop of gourds in the beds. These are performing beautifully. I am thinking I will buy one or two more. Highly recommended!" —Rae Ablan

Promising review: "I'm happy with these seeds and had a lovely vegetable garden last year. While the direction did state to germinate indoors, we planted the seeds directly into our garden boxes outside with wonderful results. We did get some duplicates and also had some missing strains, however when I alerted the company regarding this the response was immediate. I received the missing seeds in days. Great product and great service. What more can you ask for? These are a bargain at the current price." —DWest

Promising review: "This is a great size goal that’s very sturdy when constructed but easy to take apart and pack away. Ideal for taking to the park for practice or get two for setting up your own soccer matches. Material is all of a very high quality that’s well-made and I like that it comes with metal loops so you can fasten into the ground for extra support. Great value for money, lightweight for transport and my kids love it." —Kate E Davis

There are two sleeves that each set of bocce balls slides in to very nicely. I can now store them without worrying that balls will be lost in storage. This set got my family outdoors again — that's what I was looking for and I got it with this set." —jmart141

Reviewers recommend also getting the Eno Atlas straps for simple set-up.
Promising review: "This is great. I can take it anywhere and put it on anything! Make sure you get the slap straps, it makes the experience so much easier. I took mine to the top of a sand dune and chilled for an hour, true peace and no sand in my bikini. It held me and my boyfriend (and the next time I went to the dunes with my mom, my mom liked it too). It completes any relaxing experience. It's an investment, but you will have it forever as it is quite the quality product!" —Cheri

Promising review: "So I have this tiny balcony for a studio apartment and I wanted something cute to fill up the space. This set is the most affordable and there were so many choices of colors. When I went for a walk around my apartment complex, I noticed some of the neighbors have the exact same set. Since my balcony is so small and I rarely have visitors, I only set up one of the chairs. I plan to get a small succulent next to decorate it." —Bunny
