Stanwood Rain ChainLotus Lily Flower Copper Rain Chain, 8-Feet

The ice has cascaded down these cups, leaving a beautiful icicle. They do sound nice when it rains if you're out on a porch or close enough to hear it, and they are much more attractive than gutter downspouts. It's easy to assemble (I would recommend also getting the reducer/adapter, which makes it even easier - the adapter sits in the gutter where the downspout was, and a simple "hanger-like" object, which is included, goes into that. I have mine emptying into a rain barrel than was formerly a wine cask (the two are the ultimate in purchases of things you can live without, but I like seeing them both, in contrast to the very functional, new, large sized downspout in back (which never spills over or blows where it shouldn't, which this can do if it's windy), but which is very ... functional.... and boring, in contrast to fun, pretty, and a return to an ancient way of dealing with rain on the roof.  Copper Rain Chain Lotus Lily Flower

Replaced the downspouts on our house with these this summer after repainting - I LOVE them! They are a unique variation from the usual metal spout snaking down the side of the house, and when it rains they make a delightful chiming sound in addition to being beautiful as the water flows down the chains from one flower cup to the next. I added a copper basin at the bottom that really seems to add to the chiming noise - during our last thunderstorm I found myself sitting on the front steps enchanted by them. We will see how they do in snow and ice this winter, but I love them so far.

The only reason I gave these a 4 rather than a 5 is because I will have to alter the gutter to hang them securely. I don't know that I wouldn't have bought these had I known that, but I do wish they had been more specific on what was required on the gutter. It says:"Each unit comes with an attachment piece and is very easy to be installed into your existing gutter system." I have to remove an end cap and drill holes for mounting...not difficult, just not "real easy". These are so beautiful though that I have no regrets!

This is so pretty and when the rain comes through it like a waterfall.

Very good quality. I didn't use mine for gutter downspout. Mine was attached to a pole, more decorative. If you chose my way make sure catch basin is 3 foot wide as there is a lot of splash.

Works fine easy install. Anchor it to inside of gutter, don't let it hand in hole could get a little heavy in winter if you have ice.

I expected it to be heavier but It is pretty and gives a nice touch to the house and more importantly, it does its job wonderfully.

Bought this for my son at Christmas. He loves the unique look and it is a conversation piece when friends come over. He said it was especially neat looking when all the cups and chain were frozen during the snow storm we had recently. Love shopping at Amazon - fast shipping and no problems on returns.
