What thicknesses do the bottom, sides, frame, and top trim boards have, and are they all Western red cedar? Cedar 4 Ft Rectangular Deck Planter Kit Patio Deck Planter Boxes

It is unclear how thick the boards are in this planter box. The sides could be some sort of t1-11 cedar plywood for all I can tell. I also don't know how the bottom is constructed: are they short boards spanning the width, or long boards that need bracing and might sag? Thank you for clarification.

The planter kit is 100% western red cedar and is made with 3/4 and 1 1/2 inch cedar lumber. The base is short boards spanning the short dimension of 17.5 inches. Please note that this is a kit and requires complete assembly and basic carpentry skills are recommended.
