They only work for Small things, like cherry tomatoes.
Well I guess it might depend where you live and what you grow.
2 years ago we did a test with several types of tomatoes, and only the smaller versions worked well.
Something that works well for people is looking on craigs list and buying used dog kennels, runs, fences whatever you want to call them. This is good for keeping the critters out, and giving you 4 sides to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and so on.
Leaving the middle open for lettuce, carrots, peppers, the delicate stuff.
If you want more than this small garden, then that leaves like Corn, Potatoes, and other more hearty plants to be grown in the open, with more space.
You will get MANY different answers, as everyone's climate, and soil are very different.
I live in the Midwest and have had gardens for 30 years (growing up and mine)
