This fountain was very quick and easy to assemble - no tools needed.  It started right up when we plugged it in and has good water sounds. I like that it is ceramic, which looks nicer to me than most of the resin fountains, but is much lighter than the concrete ones I looked at.  The blue-green coloring is attractive and fits well with plantings in the garden.  I had been waiting for the ivory color to be back in stock, but I'm happy I went with the teal when it became available. Have only had it 10 days, but I'm very pleased so far.
