Seems nice and sturdy. Not thrilled that the 65 gallon one doesn't have more than one spigot.

First of all, the barrel looks sturdy and it's definitely more attractive than a regular barrel. Note that this barrel does not have a threaded spout for a side faucet, only the bottom has one. After looking at all the others with the side faucet, I didn't notice that the larger barrel didn't have one. That being said, it you're going to put a diverter kit on it, those come with a threaded insert for a faucet but it will detract from the look of the barrel. I'll manage but I wish this barrel was the same as the 50-gallon by the same manufacturer.

Super fast delivery and everything I needed. Aesthetically pleasing while functional with the planter to look nice year round.

Setup easy, filled up from our gutter downspout with only .7 of rain. Havent used my paid for water to water my plants since i installed.

Bought this for the wife and she loves it. Uses the rain water to water her flowers and makes a nice piece of yard art.

They are beautifully diplay for my purpose. No issues nor links. All three Completely full from the Spring rain.

I just love this water barrell, but SOOO disappointed with drain holes that run out the back of it and onto the house foundation. The plantar on top of the barrell has 2 drain holes on the back side of the barrell (which I never saw in the description) so when it rains and fills up with water, water POURS out those 2 holes along the house /foundation!! Bummer, I tried to plug them with something but didn't work, I have just had to move it more out in the open, away from the house and now use it as an overflow.

I bought this about 8 years ago for about $49.00. I guess it was made of different material than now. It faces East during the Spring through late Fall. Then I drain the water into bottles I've saved (half gal--bucket sizes) and store the barrow in the shed through the winter. That may have saved its lifetime. I store the water in my garage and use the water through the winter for my indoor plants and to start my seedlings.

Looks Nice and Made Well

It's decent enough for the price, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up. The plastic used seems like fairly standard ABS type. Hopefully, it's UV resistant enough to hold 65 gallons of water. Also, mine didn't come with hose bib. The description doesn't mention any hose bib, but there's one in the picture. I don't know if I was supposed to get one or not. Bigger concern of mine is that the threading for the hose bib(3/4 size btw) is plastic, and I doubt it can withstand the pressure long term. It really could use another outlet higher up for bucket filling. I thought about tapping one, but I think the wall is too thin. I think they should have used finer screen for the top opening also, and it wasn't sitting flush either. I just replaced the screen to keep mosquitos out. I plugged 2 drain holes on top with screws to make sure I wasn't installing mosquito hatchery. I'm not quite sure about this purchase. The quality isn't bad, and I like the size. On the other hand, I can see it failing in a few seasons, and it does have pretty obvious plastic look. It might be a better idea to invest in a higher quality model.
