I have three raised garden beds that are 4'x10'. I used 2"x10"s.
In one, I took off the the sod and went an additional 2"-3" deep....with a shovel. After nearly killing myself doing that, knowing I still had to shovel about 4 yards of garden soil by hand...I decided to just lay down weed block in the other two.
No problems. Got a late start last spring, but will be ready to go this spring.

I had one years back I made out of 2x8 pine. That lasted a few years before rotting away. I knew it would happen, and I was ok with it as I didn't want to use treated lumber for food.
2 years back I rebuilt into this design out of composite decking. It's 2 pieces wide/deep and I cut strips of scrap decking to join them on the inside of the box.
I can grow a TON of stuff in a relatively small area. Each year I top off the soil with chicken manure. The stuff is excellent but not cheap. Its ~$8 a bag at Naylor's Hardware but worth every penny.
These pics are from the spring of '09. We start most of our plants indoors from seed each year.
