So here's the deal...look at the cost of the competition and realize you're paying 1/4 of the price.Yes, these came folded in the box...just as others mentioned. BUT they went together with ease, and they're 100% sturdy enough for a season or two.I would rather have these over a fabric pot ANY day of the week.
I assembled a bunch of these for my wife. It is true that some of the receiving holes are not open, but its typically just a very thin layer of plastic spanning a hole, so its easy enough to fix with a little punch. If assembling a bunch of these, it goes much faster with a power screwdriver.
