The color is beautiful. It comes in three pieces (with small parts separately packaged.) The heaviest part is the bowl, not the base. Assembling requires quite a bit of bending and adjusting which is a challenge if your have a lower back problem. (I do). So it took time (and pain meds by the time I was done). I can't imagine being able to lift or move it if I had had it shipped already assembled. I was also not prepared to have to disassemble it to clean quite so often. Glad I positioned it on the back deck near the patio door and not in the lower garden.
