My little new fountain is simply gorgeous. I couldn't be more happy with my choice. It's easy to assemble if you follow carefully the instructions. There is a pdf file with step by step pictures you could download if you need more visuals. It started to work after about two hours the solar panel had been exposed on direct sunshine. The sound of the splashing water is peaceful and surprisingly loud which I love. I could hear it even from the kitchen. I definitely recommend it.
