I really like this rain barrel!  It looks great with flowers and vines planted in the planter top and I like that it has two spouts.  The hole at the top for the water spout to empty into, is a little small and covered by a thick plastic screen to keep out debris.  The only issue with this is that you can't see into the barrel to know how full it is and if there is a heavy rain storm, the heavily screen small hole cannot keep up.  I also need to find and install an overflow hose.  It would've been nice if this came with the barrel, but despite these drawbacks, it is a very attractive, solid and functional rain barrel and I would recommend it particularly for a prominent position in a yard.
