The four stars are because it was stated that the barrel was a "Sandstone" color. It's more of a light olive/sage color instead. I was looking for something that would blend in with the house. I kept it anyway as it is next to a large green bush and is somewhat hidden from view, although I would like to have been able to show-off the attractive contours (it's not your ordinary rain barrel!). The few times it did rain (we're in drought country) it collected water off the roof in no time and filled to capacity.    

Pros: Attractive design
Cons: Color not as stated
