Beautiful gift
I bought this as a gift. The object itself is beautiful. The utilitarian cardboard shipping box is not very attractive - I had hoped for something a little more "dressy". When I opened the shipping box, the rain gauge was set inside.

Cool!
It was not possible to fully zero the gauge--it's close, but still registers 0.1 inch. The glass tube should be wider to collect a larger cross-section of rain and allow the ball to move more freely and displace less of the water.
- Cons
- Glass tube should be wider (more accurate)
