They do make a 4x4 corner version which I used to make my reloading bench. I've built a couple of benches with these and they are sturdy and easy to assemble.
HD sells these blocks for gardening, just cut some 2x6s and lay them in. You don't even need screws. You can even ask the associate in HD to cut the lumber for you and take them home in your Mini-cooper.

The hard part is to figure out how to stop the critters from eating all your plants. For my garden bed, I had to build a big enclosure with chicken wire on all sides (even the top). Some people will point out that chemicals from pressure-treated lumber are bad for you. If that's a concern, use cedar or line the PT wood with thick food-grade plastic sheets.
I didn't see it a month ago so thanks OP.

2x4s are cheap as hell again. Not pre covid price...but they're down a lot from a year ago.
$6.50 for 92" 2x4s at my local Home Depot in Northeast Ohio. Used to be less than $2.

Less than $2? Definitely not a year ago. They were $5 here in NC pre-covid.

Rising quickly again. Here in NC we hit $3.25 per about 2 months ago. Now they're $6. Pre-covid was $2.75 each when I bought about 2 years ago.

Would these work well for raised bed gardens (exterior, obviously)? Any other/better products for that?
For a raised bed garden, I'd probably use what bargain Man linked.

I plan to build something akin to what is in the attached picture.

These connectors are like $7 or 8 each normally? That's insane. I'm debating picking up a few sets just to have them in the future. Any arguments for using these instead of a couple pocket holes? Just ease of assembly?

How often do these go on sale at this price point? I would love one, but I just have so many projects I don't have room to work on them all
If you have that many projects, I'm thinking a good workbench would be beneficial for them Smilie

I realized the irony, but I do actually have a bench, I just want one I "built" myself. Someday, you know after all the rest of my other projects.

Yup. Prices suddenly dropped when much attention was being drawn towards the extreme price fixing by large mills. And seems they got away with it.

I hate to break it to you... pre-pandemic is over 1 3/4 years ago.

I have a Home Depot electronic receipt in my email from January 2019, a little over a year before the pandemic where I purchased 2x4x96 premium fir studs for $3 a piece. That's $7.75 now.

Though I don't have any electronic receipts with the cheap ones on it, the basic studs were right around $2.

When I saw $3.25 in October it was middle of the week. I went back on the weekend it was already $4 again so I quickly bought 20 so I could build a new workbench. Now it sits waiting for prices to come back down so I can build some more stuff. Crazy.
