Easy to install, fun to watch. I had our first hard rain since I installed, the rain chain did a good job with our Florida rains, was amazed at the amount of water it collected within 30 minutes. It got a little sloppy when the rain got hard, but did the job. I am using mine over a rain barrel, so i took half off and will use elsewhere. Fun design, good constuction. I can't say for durability, only had it for about a month, but I see no problems.
