Love it! The shipping confirmation says it's 35 lbs but it's not. I was able to carry it through the house around to the back of the house. Super easy set-up. There are 2 cylinders protruding from the upper side that I thought were for bracing the pot against the house but they're for connecting a second barrel in case of overflow. To use those cylinders for overflow you would have to cut off the ends as they arrive closed. All of the materials you need for operating one barrel are included: 4' hose that attaches at the bottom, lots plumber's tape to create a tight seal, a hook for hanging the 4' hose, and a screen attached at the top by 2 small screws. I think it looks great and would totally recommend.
