Repurposed = USED & SCRATCHED.  I am all for repurposing products and finding new ways to use old things, but this rain barrel must have been dragged all over the place.  The bottom is completely scratched and gouged.  The side has residue from tape that was just painted over.  For the price of this product, I would expect the rain barrel to be cleaned and reconditioned.  This is just a used barrel with a coat of paint slopped on top.  On a positive note, this is a heavy duty rain barrel, the company just needs to do a much better job of reconditioning the product.
