The rain barrel is cheaply constructed with the glue around the spigot showing and seams of the barrel showing, which is very unattractive. As many others point out, the second compartment for "plants" is ineffective. I had to drill holes into it for drainage and add geo-mesh on top to prevent soil from entering the barrel. The screen over the hole was installed off-center and causes the screen to pop up, which allows larger debris to enter the barrel. It seems like they lost control of their drill since there is a weird chunk missing from the outer edge of the hole. See photo. They also didn't bother to clean out the barrel after they constructed it, so there are tons of little pieces of plastic at the bottom of the barrel, which is really hard to clean out since there is only one small opening.
