Good Ideas Impressions Bark 50 Gallon Rain Saver - Oak

I was pleasantly surprised when these 4 rain barrels were delivered. I couldn't be happier!! Not only are they attractive, and the faucets were so easy to install. I can't wait to use the gray water from my downspouts instead of household water on my garden. I would sure recommend these & the price was phenomenal!!!

I got this for my daughter-in-law for her birthday. She loves it. Quality construction, easy to set up and start using. The only problem is that in Michigan, it needs to be emptied and put away for the winter...but not a product defect - Mother Nature's fault! It is a great savings for watering gardens!!

We bought this rain barrel to put in the front of the house. It had to look nice, and it does. The light gray compliments the foundation and porch accents. It's also a nice size to accommodate the large potted plants on our porch without having to haul water from our other rain barrel out back. Just waiting for some rain.

I would have rated this rain barrel with 5 stars if only the rain actually all went into the barrel. Most of it splashes into the overflow area and into the area designed for a plant. Luckily, the plant I placed into that space, I left in the pot it came in so all that over-run doesn't completely drown the plant. Nice thought but the design needs re-engineering. Was not difficult to set up. Most of the set-up was sawing off the rain gutter down-spout. Easy to level. It's just all the water splashing everywhere. We get really heavy rain at times. This huge amount gushing down will make this rain barrel ineffective and for sure, drown the plant. If it had been designed to have a diverter, it would work so much better. Unfortunately, I couldn't find that type that didn't look so awful so I opted for this style. Not a good choice!

I was quite impressed with the speed of delivery and the design/quality of this product. Classy looking enough to keep on the deck or patio. Love the thoughtful idea of being able to plant flowers or simply put potted plants on the top. All in all great product!
