This is a beautiful fountain. Even though it is light weight, once filled  with water, the extra weight seems to have made it heavy enough to withstand a couple windstorms that have blown our way. The solar panel's cord is long enough to move it around the garden to capture sunlight throughout the day and it stores plenty of juice to use the battery settiing at at night or when clouds obstruct the sun. Only downside is that the finish has chipped off in a couple areas inside the bottom basin. Not noticable unless you are looking directly into the water.
