I have always wanted a rain barrel but never needed one until now. So I spent a lot of time trying to find one that met all of my needs but would also be a lovely addition to my back porch decor. Perfect color for me. Very sturdy. Size and shape works great for the area where this item must be placed to catch the downspout water that was washing away my hillside mulch. When it arrived the two brass spigots were missing but I called amazon who contacted the seller and within a few days the two spigots arrived in the mail. They were easy to install. I love the ease of attaching a hose to the bottom spigot and then to be able to fill a watering can from the top spigot. As soon as it arrived I filled the planter part with dirt and now my Genovese basil is growing on top. Lovely! I really appreciate the ease of dealing with this seller. They were helpful, kind and speedy in responding to my missing parts.
