Customer Reviews for MGP Rain Barrel

Barrel came in excellent condition, even smells like wine! We stained it and put on a top coat. We love it!

The product is super cool. It looks exactly as shown in the photo. It is the classic wine barrel look you would expect. We are using the wine barrel in our fairy garden for decoration and for catching rain. Very satisfied.

had some leaks pretty much a waist of my money, the barrel is pretty though.

Good quality and does the job.

It’s beautiful, but the spigot at the bottom is leaking and there is no way to fix it and it is past the return period. When purchasing make sure there is rain in the forecast to make sure it works properly, so you can return within the window should there be a defect.

Love this barrel....so glad we went with an authentic one. It looks great and the hardware is great quality.

Shipped in July but left sealed until October when renovation was done. AWFUL smell and several cups of thick chemical goo globbed out the round hole in the side. Stained cement and burned skin. Reminds me of paint stripping chemicals. $239 wasted.

Looks beautiful but it does leak after a while. The spigot requires a few turns which is a nuance.

Perfect, looks just like advertised.

Leaked at the bottom in the front and side. 2” hole in the side of the barrel halfway up.

Authentic!! You can smell the wine that had been in it. Looks great with my mountain home.

It took more than a month to get to my home; however, it did arrive in good shape and I am pleased with it!

I had to return it to Home Depot because the inside was full of mold..

Didn't want the fake plastic one. Which looks good, but not at same price. The wine barrel is awesome. Talk of the neighborhood . Very unique

Very attractive and sturdy rain barrel. Hold water perfectly, and is a nice conversation piece in the back yard.

I love everything about this barrel. It looks so authentic. It even still smells like wine!

Stained great! Works great!

The barrel showed up over a week late, then when I opened it I discovered that the entire barrel was stained a deep burgundy. I thought that it would have some stains but not the entire barrel! It took me several days to sand down so that I could see the natural oak color. The top hole wasn’t cut very well. Kinda jagged. I love my barrel now but have to spend a lot of time getting it to a state that I wanted.

Exactly as described. I sanded and varnished and it looks beautiful. Youtube has how to videos.

Beautiful barrel that came right from the winery because it smells like wine and has a lot of wine slime in the bottom. I am not impressed with a rain barrel as it has no flow and only works if your hose is below the barrel. This is obvious for most but ended up turning this into a table.

Absolutely beautiful wnr functional.

This rain barrel is beautiful and we’ve gotten lots of compliments on it. We set it up on bricks just as in the photo so we can easily fit a watering can beneath the spigot. The spigot looks great and works well. We needed to mosquito-proof this barrel. The grating that covers the hole which allows in the rain water is very wide and mosquitoes could easily get in. The overflow spout is not stainless steel and is starting to rust. That is surprising because the quality of all the other components is excellent, but for this little piece it is not.
