I was looking for a tall, but not too wide fountain for a corner of my front porch. This fountain fit the bill very nicely. It was delivered ahead of estimated delivery time and easy to assemble. Had a little trouble getting the pump to stay submerged (suction cups are small and don't stick to the container surface). The water falling does sound "tinny," which isn't surprising since four of the water catchers are metal. :) Very pleased with this purchase.
