Unfortunately this item arrived damaged. One of the legs had fallen off or been knocked off and some of the boards had come loose. It appears to have been damaged in shipping but also doesn't appear to have been too well put together to start. I'm not sure how long it would have held up under the weight of a full rain barrel and out in the elements. I had to ask for a refund which was quick and painless. I suggest that the construction of this product be beefed up in the future or another product be sold for this purpose. Also, the item wasn't shipped with any sort of cushioning, which may have contributed to the problems.
