This fountain has the perfect sou nd and fits well on my small patio. I was surprised that the gravel  and clay beads to grow plants in a hydroponic manner in the top shelf were included. Im very pleased. 
I did find the pictures in the instructions difficult because the bw photos were very dark. Made it difficult to see what to do, especially with the pump  filter positioning. Also these pieces of it were put together incorrectly when it arrived. Made it a puzzle but I got it after a bit.
