I love this fountain! The appearance is a bit smaller in person than it seems online. Nonetheless, still very, very nice.  It was simple to put together. I had to use those tiny sticker-back pads (small felt pads) to level the base of the highest-sitting pot just to make it a bit more sturdy. I also got more of the river rocks to put in the pour-areas (it comes with some already, I just wanted a different acoustic). I do recommend the advised distilled water use. It just keeps the fountain and the motor better. I am very happy with this purchase.
