I bought this for my daughter as a present and it soon became the highlight of our rock garden.  We have gotten sooo many compliments on this fountain.  The sound of the water flowing has such a calming effect on anyone sitting nearby.  We change items in the garden often, but this stays a staple until winter comes and we have to bring it in and we then use the stand we created for our outdoor Christmas tree or whatever else we buy that withstands the colder weather. Something I didn't really anticipate was the entertainment when different birds come down and get a drink every now and then.   The detail is amazing on this beautiful fountain.  It certainly makes our patio stone garden a bit more classy with this in the middle of it.  This was worth every penny I spent on it.  My daughter had it up and running within a few hours and that was with her creating a small flat stand for leveling it in the rock garden so the water would flow flawlessly.
