This outside fountain, made with exterior natural stone slate, is the perfect size for a deck or patio. It was very easy to put together, and not too heavy for one person to manage. It has a strong pump and also came with accessories (stones for the basin). At night it is absolutely stunning - as the small light in the top pyramid shines through. I feel that the materials it's constructed from will stand the test of time, unlike previous fountains I've had that were soon destroyed by the elements. It has a very soft, soothing sound when running. It adds beauty and uniqueness to my deck! Highly recommended - good value for the money.
