The fountain itself is fine, except the light connector knob was backwards, so had to cut it, turn it around, and superglue it so it would screw onto the pump adapter cord. It's purely a quality control issue, and not the 1st time products "made in China" have arrived with issues.  Also, and again it's a China thing: enough with the Styrofoam packing!  By the time everything is unpacked, there are particles scattered all over, and clean-up is a total pain!  How about cardboard forms and/or bubble wrap, anything but styrofoam!
