I really like it; it seems sturdy and heavy enough, although not as heavy as stone or concrete (which I was not expecting anyway) The directions for the wiring of the top part were lousy, I thought, and so did my husband, but we eventually got it together and working. It is a lovely soothing sound to me; if the house is quiet and I sit in living room I can hear it if it's on. When the sun goes down, it stops unless you turn it on manually. Still figuring that part out; whether to keep switch on or off, for best charge. Haven't had it but a few days. Over all I like it alot!
