The fountain makes a really nice sound and was relatively easy to assemble. You need to pay attention to the fact that the pieces of tubing have different lengths because the barrels have different heights. But they all fit. (Some reviewers have complained that the pieces were too short.)
There are two drawbacks: One is the pump. It is simply not very strong. We replaced it with a more powerful pump to increase the waterflow and, therefore, the sound of the water. Secendly, when you need to take the pump out (for example, for cleaning), you need to disassemble the fountain. The hole where the cord of the fountain threads through is simply not large enough to pull the plug through. A big design flaw.
