This birdbath is very cute, but I don't expect it to last years.  Let's start with putting it together- I would say I found this to be fairly easy until I got to the top part where the pump gets screwed on.  The picture and instructions are not super clear on how it needs to be oriented to fit on the screw holes, especially with the way the cord lays.  We got it figured out and tried it out in our kitchen (it's winter and we didn't want to ruin the pump running it outside in the cold).  The water makes a pleasant and soothing noise, but the top doesn't sit level so the water only flows over one side. I'm sure it can be fiddled with to get it straight.  Lastly it does come with 2 yard stakes, which is good since it's quite lightweight being made of plastic.  It may be nice used in a sun room, I'm a bit worried how it will hold up outside with the winds we get.
