Fountain is adorable. Lights come on separate plug so you can use with or without the lights. Didn’t come with very detailed directions, but it is easy enough to figure out. The tube that drains the bottom bowl into the water reservoir made a weird sucking noise. I was able to adjust but then it would overflow. I can finagle it to work, but is slightly annoying to have to do. I assume it is just a malfunction in my fountain only, as I haven’t seen this in any other reviews. Overall, it is heavy-duty and a cute accent for our deck!
