The fountain is even prettier than we expected and provides a relaxing sound on our backyard patio. To get more of a babbling brook sound vs waterfall, we lowered the water flow by adding a plastic clamp onto the tube. Assembly directions are clear and straight forward. Follow them closely, dont take short cuts. The bottom bowl is very heavy, so we had to get that into place by pulling it on top of a tarp. Otherwise, all the remaining pieces are light weight.
