3.0 out of 5 stars Looks nice - disappointing results April 13, 2009

I purchased this barrel last summer based on its great looks. I have had compliments on how good it looks. However, after the first rain fall, the barrel filled and I noticed the back 'bowed' badly. This pushed the barrel away from the house wall and when I finally emptied it, the damage was done and it is now permanently bowed. Also, the faucet is cheap plastic and the threads no longer attach well to my hose. Not a quality item - sad because it looks so good.

3.0 out of 5 stars looks good November 13, 2008

I love the look of this barrel. 2 annoying things though, 1) The overflow is right at the front which detracts from the look of the barrel when a hose is attached. 2) Also, when it is full of rain, it expands and the back 'bowes' out. As mine was positioned quite close to the house wall, it caused the barrel to 'push' out against the wall and ended up tilted slightly. It is still full of water right now and I hope it goes back to the original shape when empty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rain Barrel April 6, 2009

By Carol

Rain barrel is plastic that resembles wood (good) and is made in two halves (front and back sections) that are factory sealed together to form the completed product. The halves do not line up very well so the product looks rather cheap. Sections are offset by over 1/4"...they don't join smoothly together. It seems to me that for an item that costs well over a hundred dollars the makers could at least line up the halves when they're sealed together so it looks a little nicer and looks more like a wooden barrel than a cheap plastic one that no one cared to make right. Since it sits in a focal point in my garden I was hoping for a slightly more attractive product. It holds water, there are no leaks so that is good. I need several more rain barrels but the next few I purchase will be from another manufacturer even if I have to pay a bit more.
