Works essentially as expected and looks pretty great! Did have trouble with one of the leg screws but solved that with washers. It has decent weight to it but will still move around if not mindfully unreeling hose. Hose reels back in quite easily. Connections are fairly easy to use. FYI it does come with its own hose extension with two female ends to connect from hose bib to reel intake.  Overall would recommend as it’s more substantial thank most other plastic options.
