Perfect little fountain for my patio.  Love the color!!  However, I did find that the fountain needs to be on a perfectly flat level surface.  My patio corner slants a bit for drainage, so I improvised and put a few small flat rocks at the bottom edge to level the fountain.  Also, be sure to add a lot of water, because if there is not enough water in the base, the "trickle" sound will sound like a running toilet!  Just add more water, then the trickle sound is pleasant sounding.  I love this fountain!
