Bird bath arrived very well packaged and looks exactly like the photo.  I decided rather than place it in the garden I installed it on the deck and surrounded it with lots of flowers in pots of various shaped and sizes.  The deck is totally filled with plants and flowers already so it looks great sitting there.  In addition I can hear it when I am sitting out there and can also see it from the yard as well as the living room through the french doors.  Really pretty. It makes a great water source for all the butterflies in the garden as well as hummingbirds and other birds as well.
