I've had the fountain on my patio for a few months now and love it!  I have had so many compliments on it, and, obviously, my plants love it too!  The birds use it for drinking in the hot weather.  I hike a lot in the mountains along waterfalls and streams, and this gives me a little bit of the mountains in my own back yard.  I couldn't be happier with this purchase!  The lights are a nice touch after dark.
