Beautiful fountain! And WOW,  it is heavy and going to last forever! It took us about an hour to put together,  and that was because the tubing was too long and kept kinking. Which you dont know until it is put together and water running. Then take it apart again, and so on. The black finish rubs off, but a good scrubbing pad, and Dawn removed it. It is so worth it. Were in it 70s,  it was difficult, but we did it. The sound is just what I was hoping for. We can hear it and see it from the porch and inside the house with the doors open. Were very please with it and worth the price.
