Box arrived dented & slashed and I was worried the fountain might be damaged.  Happily I discovered the manufacturer had packed it well with styrofoam and it was in perfect condition. After unpacking, it took 5 minutes, if that, to place it, attach the interior hose, fill it with water and plug it in. The light came on and the sound of trickling water now helps mask the roar of lawn mowers in our neighborhood.
