Corten Steel Rectangular Outdoor Planter Box, Rustic & Modern Farmhouse Design, Large Raised Metal Garden Bed for Commercial & Residential Use (36in x 16in x 16in)

Heavy duty construction well made. Great planter

Purchased the large 26"x26"x26" corten steel planter for the area in between my 2 garage doors (see photo). I was impressed with the thickness/gauge of the steel construction. Assembly was a breeze, all hardware was included. And as a bonus, this item is made in the USA. Since the photo was taken, the planter has already started to develop the characteristic aged rusted ppatina. Looking forward to seeing how the patina continues to develop over time.

They oxidize quickly but remain sturdy. Live the look and depth of them. My tomatoes thrived in this container which retains heat well

First off, this really looks great in our yard. We currently just have a pot set inside it but will eventually fill with dirt & plant directly in the planter. We had looked at solid construction welded planters and they are substantially more expensive. This seemed like a good alternative. Overall, it is. There are just a few things to be aware of. The assembly, while not difficult, did require a but of wiggling & finesse to get some of the holes lined up. Nothing impossible and nothing that required a drill or a hammer; it just took a bit of patience & persistence. That said, we were able to properly & completely assemble the planter problem. The other thing to keep in mind is that the bolts used to assemble the planter appear to be stainless steel. so while the container will rust - as it should - the bolts will remain shiny stainless steel. Two of the sides of the planter only have bolts at the bottom, so you can arrange the planter so one of those sides are the most visible, which is what we have done. We may investigate some kind of paint/finish for the bolts to make them less obvious. Even with these two considerations, I recommend this planter. It's rusting beautifully and really looks good in our yard. It's a more affordable way to get a high end looking planter.

I ended up returning this item as it did not blend well with the rest of my back yard decor. I am writing this review not for the steel planter boxes which appeared to be very high quality but for my interaction with Jordan from DIY Cartel. Long story short- UPS would not accept both returns without separate tracking numbers (despite having shipped them with the same tracking number). I called Amazon customer service who put me in touch with Jordan for a separate shipping label. Jordan was immediately responsive and a class act! These were not cheap items but Jordan helped greatly with the problem and issued a refund almost immediately. In today's world, it is rare to find someone who actually cares about the consumer. I will always first consider DIY Cartel for future purchases!

I’m gonna tell you right now… there’s no way these are built in 4 minutes like their product video says. They don’t specify what tools you need and you need VERY specific tools to make this come together. The bolts and screws do not play well and it’s taking forever. Bogus marketing and honestly it’s frustrating because of how expensive they are. They are industrial strength though and beautiful slabs of steel, I’ll give them that.

I'm absolutely in love with this Corten Steel Planter! It arrived promptly and included all the necessary tools for assembly, which helped a lot. It's heavy, durable, and also includes two drainage holes at the bottom. There are also two plugs in case you don't need the drainage holes. They even included instructions on how to accelerate the rusting process. I'm so excited to use it in my garden this spring! Will definitely be checking out their other products.

Really like these, they are made of a thicker gauge than I thought they would have been made of. Most important, American made! Highly recommended!

I adore my new corten steel planters! They’re the perfect modern industrial vibe that I wanted against my greenhouse. They were easy to put together and the oxidation process was magic! They transformed before my eyes and have the aged patina that I was looking for. They really elevate my garden and I couldn’t recommend them more!

RUSTASTIC !!! I absolutely love these planters! They are such a statement piece in the garden. I’m so excited to style them throughout the seasons, flowers, pumpkins, winter greenery… the possibilities are endless! They are strong, sturdy and easy to assemble. I was worried the rusting process would take longer than I wanted, but no, they rusted as soon as I sprayed them with peroxide and vinegar! They are continuing to become even more beautiful with time. Very, verrrrry happy with these pieces. Shari Pegg-Bonaccorso
