It was a good size to use as a water bucket for my dog. I poured water into one of them and left the house, and when I came back, almost all of the bucket of water spilled onto the parquet floor. There is a pin hole in the middle of the bottom of the bucket so you can see where a small dot of plastic came out. If you look at other buckets, the plastic in these recesses is also very thin. I can't use any of these buckets for their intended purpose as I'm just lucky I didn't mess up my floors. I can't use them on a dog outside because there's no way I want to come home and find that the dog hasn't had water all day because it has leaked. All three must be sent to the trash.
