Koolscapes Stone-Look Rain Barrel, 75 gal (285L), Sandstone

The good and the bad: The GOOD - 75 gallons, is sturdy, is attractive, basic design is excellent, excellent followup customer service. The BAD - product was shipped in a plastic bag allowing the spigot to be half-way torn away, spigot is lightweight. My solution: rather than exchange it for another with no guarantee it wouldn't be damaged during shipment I replaced the spigot and threaded section with a more substantial bulkhead union and a more robust spigot. Simply cut a 2 3/8ths hole around existing section (which is weak due to how it was attached) and installed a bulkhead union and faucet. Refer to photos.

Perfect, holds a lot of water, has feet for added stability and spigot is excellent

WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO THINK None of the parts or fittings were with the barrel. Wayfair said they were shipping them separately - it is 2 weeks past the promised delivery date - nothing. chat box...nothing. Now they want to charge me shipping ($75.00) for returning the part (no "s") I did receive if I am not willing to wait for parts again. The barrell itself looks to be sturdy though.

I like the design and it's light enough that I can move it around by myself. Haven't had any rain yet to determine if the spigot on it works accordingly.

The plastic let's light through the barrel which will promote algae growth in the collected water
