Just set it up! Easy to do. No problems with shipping. Will agree that it could use more rocks but since we have it near a fence just placed more of the rocks to the front. Looks great! The fact that you can’t turn the light off is not a problem. I can see it in the day time as fountain is in a shady spot. Though would have liked and offon switch instead of having to unplug it. Directions for me seemed sort of backwards( never owned a fountain or fish tank for that matter) but it seems before you place the rocks on top and then pour water in you should not close lid but hold onto it, pour water in so you can see the level and make sure pump is submerged, then close the lid add rocks.
