Setting this fountain up was surprisingly easy, and included directions were very clear. It comes with a remote so you can adjust the color settings reflected in the fountain. I put this fountain in my office where I work from home, just off of my living room. I like hearing the tranquil, quiet sound of the fountain while working or relaxing in my living room. Construction of the fountain seems solid; it appears to be made of durable materials. I love using the remote to change the colors during nighttime, it looks really cool lit up in the dark. This fountain would be great for adding some ambiance in an office or living space in the home, or in a waiting room in a public building.
