I am very happy with this fountain. That said, my two minor gripes are that the casting looks like it was slightly damaged before  it all set up, but once it's up and running it's not noticeable. The other gripe is that the specs showed the base as 16 inch diameter. When it arrived it was actually slightly smaller than 12 inches. It doesn't affect its performance, but I had poured a 18 inch diameter concrete pad to put the fountain on. Overall, it looks very nice and the sound of running water is a nice background sound.
