So excited to get this item. It weighs qbout 35 pounds so be prepared to do some heavy lifting. The only con i found to this fountain is it runs off electric and has a 6 foot reach for the cord. It waa easy ro assemble but i really needed sonething more self sufficient so i could put it at our family graveyard. The fountain itself is very high quality with beautiful etching and is beautiful howevwe it isn't able to run wuthout utilitiea.
