Fountain looked great out of the box. Easy assembly and worked great for about 18 months. Now the basin has developed a number of leaks, No matter what I have tried to stop the leaks, new leaks keep popping up. I don't live in a cold weather climate and yet I have taken it in and stored it during winter months. Additionally the paint/coating has chipped away over the same time frame so the unique weathered wood look no longer exists as it is becoming a pure whiteish color.
