This is a good fountain! Its not concrete at all...all resin. Just has a "concrete" look. The pump is fabulous. I've had pumps in the past that have blown our circuit, but this one worked all summer. The birds seemed to like being able to have the reservoir on top to drink from. My only big complaint is that the finish started wearing off quite early in the summer. I've just put it inside for the winter and had to scrub a lot of green algae off. I think I will try to refinish with an outdoor primer/paint for next year. Will definitely keep for a few years.
