We received this fountain with no problems, all parts were there and nothing cracked or broken. Set up was very easy. Love the green color to blend in with our backyard. We placed the fountain on the corner of our ground deck which was not under cover, filled it up with water, connected solar panel and away it went. Cute! I placed blooming outdoors plants all around it to add color and hide the tubing and solar panel cord. The "tinkle" of the water in it is not loud at all, so if you are looking for a big water noise this is not for you. We found it just right because we were sitting close (abt 15ft.)to it on the other end of our covered deck. We get about 7 hours hours of sunlightjust on the little area where it is setting. Works great! Although as stated doesnot work on cloudy days, but will work on partly cloudy days. When we want it on at night we just plug in the electric adapter which we bought seperatly. I wish the price had been lower but all in all we love it.The directions say it will freeze in the winter so be sure to take it in. It does have to be cleaned about 1 a month but it's not a problem and I have to add water to it about every 5 days depending on how hot it is. The birds in our yard love it too. Even though we have 2 birdbathes a few do drink out of the fountain and well as the one cat I have seen. Just remember it is for small spaces.
