As a lover of fountains and the sound of running water, I was excited to receive this fountain, assembly was a breeze.  Downside, fountain does splash an abundance of water. I keep mine on front porch, would not recommend for inside.  Still trying to make this work.  After altering several times over the summer, still am unable to get fountain to flow evenly, keep all cups filled evenly and remedy the splashing problem.  It is very pretty, and will resume my efforts next spring.
