Andy,

Generally, I just frame them in 2x4's, (pressure treated of course), and I don't buld them too deep. I make them about as deep as a big flowerpot would be, (about 12 to 14 inches, more or less). I set up a box frame and then build in another smaller frame to make the flowerbox.
I line the box with PT plywood on the sides and bottom and I drill a series of drain holes in the bottom. I then line everything with Geotex fabric and they're done.

They're meant more for annuals or small perennials than anything else.
