So far so great! This rain barrel has worked really well so far. The barrels arrived in good shape and frankly seem brand new. Instructions for installing the spigot were easy to follow. I understand why folks wanted to replace the spigot, as it does feel a little flimsy, but I haven't had any problems with the spigot. I've had a lot of problems getting the overflow to work, though - nothing drains out and the barrel ends up overflowing from the top.  I think I'm going to have to drill a new hole further down so that it's not on a curved portion of the barrel.
