The Cascata Rain Barrel arrived a few days early which I appreciated.  The condition of the box was good but the barrel was considerably scuffed and there is a seam at the bottom of the barrel which is not shown in the pic (others have mentioned this as well).  It's going to be outside so I don't mind that it's not in pristine condition, the test will be when we have our next rain.  The reason I gave it 4 stars vs 5 was because you have to saw off the caps of the two overflow spouts.  Not a deal breaker but don't know why they can't have screw caps making access easier.
