Would if LOVED the barrel and ordered more. Had it not been all in the box IT WILL expose you to lead.

My order just delivered, but when I opened the box, I'm so disappointed. It seems like it was a returned item. it only had the plane barrel with no accessories come with it. I can't use it.

Great product!

Good quality good size

Love it! I might buy another one. Any specials?

Upon initial inspection, they looked fine. But then we found a piece of tubing that we didn't know what it belonged to so we started looking at it more carefully. The product had a indentation on top for the placement of a plant with built in weep holes for drainage out the backside. The weepholes were formed incorrectly and if we had used it, would have let dirty water weep into the clean water area. When we saw the weepholes, they looked like an animal had gnawed the tubes, which is kind of impossible since they are inside the units, but what's probably the problem is the plastic molding process didn't work correctly. Then when we went to return them last night, it took the store and 5 different managers and employees to get us our refund. Not happy right now, at all. And this is the 2nd attempt to get these.

I looked at several rain barrels before deciding on this one. It is well built and as an additional feature, it can be disguised as a planter in your garden or patio area. I would definitely recommend this product. It will be wonderful to use rain water to water our gardens. Love this style!

This is my second time buying this rain barrel -- I love the color because it matches my house perfectly. The spigot is pretty slow, but my father in law fixed it pretty easily and inexpensively with a new one from Home Depot. My last one cracked on the the bottom (there is an indented area) but we think it is because it wasn't properly supported when my husband built a platform for it to rest on. Without a platform (we just used brick pavers) the spigot is pretty low to the ground and can only be used with small buckets.

The screen over the hole at the top of the rain barrel needs to have bigger holes and sit much lower. With the original screen the water tended to go around the hole and then get directed to the overflow, even when the barrel is not full. I removed and discarded the original plastic screen and replaced it with some window screen. One might also partially block the over flow pathways so that the are used only when the barrel is completely full.

The rain barrel is a good product and very easy to install. The biggest draw back was Wal-Mart sent a used one instead of a new one. I little frustrating, but it works just fine. The brass spigot is good quality. There isnt a drain plug for the planter, but there is a overflow that will drain out the excess. I think it gives a nice touch to my home.
