I got this for my parents now that they've moved to town they need untreated water for their potted tomatoes and flowers.  I've had a rain barrel for years and love having water in a large reservoir.  This barrel seems sturdy and of good size.  I like that the top has screens to filter debris.  The overflow is nice if they want to connect to another barrel or just drain into a bucket.  I do like that the spigot is near the bottom for access to most all of the water, but we will have to set it up on cinder blocks to allow for a pitcher or small bucket to fit under.  I'm very pleased with my purchase!
