Since we are on water restrictions in the summer but have lots of rain in the spring/winter months, we wanted to capture rain water to water our planters.  We installed two of these under our rain chains and had pipes put at the back (see photo)  to drain the overflow into our gardens.  Looks really great.  Hoping they hold up for years but time will tell.  So far, we are very pleased with the product and it isn't the typical unattractive rain barrel sticking out like a sore thumb.
