These barrels (we bought two) are handsome-looking, lightweight, and sturdy. I think the spigot could have been more wisely placed in relation to the pipe thingies that project from one side, however--our installer wasn't able to use those in either case in order to keep the spigot accessible, and consequently we have these rather unsightly tubal protrusions visible on the side of each barrel. But that's possibly just our set-up. We're pleased overall. Now if we'd just get some rain!
