Spigot doesn’t screw in properly.
"Spigot doesn’t screw in properly. I was sent a replacement but it had the same issue which means it’s a problem with the actual piece connected to the barrel. Top part with the screen doesn’t sit flush against the top of the barrel. Otherwise it’s good quality, great capacity, and I really like the stand."

Great size, value and easy to assemble
"The Lakewood Rain Barrel and Stand is well made and was super easy to assemble. The instructions were very simple and clear and it even came with Teflon tape. Minimal tools are required, a wrench for tightening and a screw driver is all that is needed. It is going to be great for watering our garden this summer. The screen on the top will keep out debris. It fits right along the house and the stand makes it easy to fill a watering can. Sleek design and excellent value for the money."

Works as expected!
"Product was easy to assemble- assembled in less than 15 minutes with a screwdriver. It is very sturdy and does it's job. We managed to fill it up with 1 storm, so be mindful which downspout you install this under. The valve at the bottom is easy to open & close. We have attached a hose to use the water for our bird bath and to water plants."

Excellent in Every Way
"I have been looking for a rain barrel for several years and the Lakewood Rain Barrel and stand are perfect for us. The stand provides the perfect place to store the hose and the spigot is off the ground enough to allow you to attach the hose. We recently received a significant increase in our water rates so this will be great to allow us to still have beautiful flowers and a small garden. It blends in perfectly with our deck decor. Great quality."

Great to conserve water
"I was very excited about this product as I live California and were often in a drought. It seemed like the perfect way to take advantage of the rain and use it for my garden. It’s definitely sustainable and helps me conserve water. Overall it’s easy to set up only 4 steps. Although I did struggle to tighten the spigot. I just wasn’t strong enough, I don’t usually have issues tightening things so unsure if it was a fluke or genuinely difficult to do. It’s well made and durable. It also looks great. I can’t recommend this enough!"

Works great!
"The Lakewood Rain Barrel and Stand is works great! We put our downspout right at the top, and it fills the barrel perfectly. It is well made and definitely durable. This is our first time using a rain barrel, and I wish we would’ve gotten one sooner. I love that it’s sustainable, but also that it is aesthetically nice too! It is a perfect addition to our home."

Best rain barrel. Elevated platform
"Best rain barrel. Elevated platform makes it easier to drain water via hose"

This rain barrel replaced an
"This rain barrel replaced an old unattractive black one with plastic fittings that no longer worked. I am very happy with the replacements - tighter against the outside wall, more attractive color and metal fittings."

Great rain barrel!
"Although it's a little more expensive than some other models out there, it is definitely worth it! It has a flat back, comes with a pedestal and has a heavy brass faucet. I expect this to last many seasons! So far so good! I just had to buy a diverter kit to make it work for us."
