Community sentiment is more divided on value: r/gardening users agree the cedar 'looks really nice' and is easy to assemble with an included liner, but several call cedar 'not worth what it currently costs.' At a premium price point, the consensus is that you're paying for appearance and natural rot resistance rather than raw growing capacity.
