Re: SFG Journey: Table top garden bed.
I'd be very suspicious. The site has only been up since March 10.
Also, the usual advice applies: If it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't. Caveat emptor.

No I haven’t
Just saw it today on Facebook market place
You’re right, it does look fishy, now that you mention it. Sorry about that gardener

Re: SFG Journey: Table top garden bed.
Hmmm, very interesting. Based on current materials pricing it would likely cost you more than $49 to buy the Cedar/Cypress planking on the exterior, let alone the aluminum legs, and 5 gallon poly water reservoirs. I'm almost tempted to run the gamut and see what happens, but it could get ugly.
429 Gwinnet Drive, Lawrenceville actually comes up 428 - a used car dealer. How apropros.
Nash's phone number on the sign says (770) 822-2068; their website shows sales (678) 317-2797, and service (678) 317-2806; both Atlanta, GA exchanges.
"Quilltop" that offers the boxes give (689) 204-1200; that's Orlando, FL. - looking up their number yields:
Good find has55; but I think the well(?) is too deep for me!

Re: SFG Journey: Table top garden bed.
Hass, So your quest for a raised bed continues. Are you looking for wheels, also? This is just my opinion, but the wood on all 3 seems to be 1/2" and wouldn't last very long. I use 2"x8" for the side frames of my elevated/table top beds and 3/4" plywood for the bottoms. The bottoms are supported underneath every 2' or less. I get about 7 years out of these materials. The treated wood 4"x4" notched legs were in contact with the dirt and where hollowed out by dry rot organisms and/or termites. I now use cement blocks to elevate the beds. Those puppies are going no where!
Trolley driver made a 2'x4' table top bed for herbs. It would be sturdy enough for wheels. I'll see if I can find a photo.
This was my 1'x4' herb bed that TD used as an idea. Too many 1" drain holes so I had to cork most of them.
I'll have to look in TD's threads to find his 2'x4' TT.
