Good concept, questionable execution on the idea... March 12, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a handsome looking unit from the picture and it looks good in a kitchen too. However, given it's cost, I was disappointed by the quality of materials and instructions provided.
This type of lighting could be expensive and in this arena, I think it's a good product. However, the finish is very inexpensive and in my opinion poor quality. The wood is also inexpensive and even the cord and swith on the cord seems to be an area where the manufacturer cut some corners.
The assemble instructions that came with mine were very poor photocopies with equally poorly written materials. I had to assemble and disassemble the unit a few times to get it right. Interestingly, there were actually TWO sets of instructions for assembly included with different part names, letters or numbers, neither of which had diagrams that were highly resolved enough to see except for one.
I think this is a nice unit for growing herbs, but their are others out there and some are even less expensive. There is also a similar unit to this which is a different color, but they are basically the same and my comments hold for both.
I must say that overall, I am somewhat disappointed with this purchase. For this kind of money, I expect better quality and better enclosed materials. I realize it's possible I got bad photocopies, but I'm sure I got the same finish, power cord, switch and parts that others will get.
I advise that you shop around and see what you can get for your money. There is one unit which I haven't set up yet called AeroGarden which is also sold on Amazon. Chef's seem to like it and my understanding is that you can grow herbs and vegetables up to five times faster with this method. I bought one, but didn't set it up yet. I will review it when I get a chance to see how it performs.
