What a stately addition to our new front walkway sculpture garden. This fountain adds both visual and audible beauty-the sound of the water is so calming. This fountain is grand in size and weight, but the individual pieces are easy to manage and assemble. When we put ours together, we were pleased to find the directions were straightforward, the pieces fit well, and we found no leaks when we tested the water components. We also find with proper shimming the bowls do cascade properly downward and stay filled without refilling but we received our fountain in early October and have not used it through a long hot dry spell yet. Time will tell. Since this stone monolith is way too heavy to move, we have properly burlaped and bubble-wrapped our fountain to protect it from winter in the Poconos. We plan to use fairy lights to turn it into a mock Christmas tree since the bubble wrap gives it that shape!
