Was simple to put together, very well made hold up well in HAIL conditions that.  I got several times this month in my state.  I really like the spigot on the bottom for easy access to the collected water and cleaning very easy to turn and very easy to handle.  Im extremely impressed how well this holds the water. Fits very nicely. The barrel is constructed of a hard plastic with a nice design making it not seem like a rain barrel at all you would only know if seen one before other wise it looks like a regular flower pot. This also is a  Good price, excellent value. Sturdy structure. Hooks up easy, fills up fast in rainy weather. Easy bottom hook up to hose. Wonderful source of FREE water for garden you will be very pleased with this and it will last for many years a very well made product simply amazing can not stop smiling how well this is and saving money for me on my water bill.
