I ordered a waterfall fountain previously and temporarily put it on our patio until its permanent home until the work in the garden was completed.  My husband liked the soothing sounds enough to convince me to buy another, hence this one.  When we unpacked this fountain, the screens were broke as it was for others.  We decided to fix them ourselves with opoxy since the damage was minor.  The manufacturer seemingly packaged it appropriately but it was on the top and hence anything that was stacked on it, doomed the screens.  It is lightweight and can be moved by 1 person.  Set up was relatively easy (outside of the screen issue).  The water sounds were plasticky sounding and loud.  The screens and some additional water in the basin took care of the noise.  It's still a little loud (it's in a corner on the patio surrounded by external walls) but we are enjoying it.  On a side note, the pump seems a little small but should be easy to replace if/when needed.
