I love it when a purchase is better than the picture.  I had no idea what this hunk of plastic was going to look like.  While it won't fool anyone into thinking it's a rock, at least up close, I prefer it to the rain barrels.  It feels very sturdy but I can still lift and move it around, while empty. And the spigot is brass, very good.  Now, if it'll just rain in South Texas!
