This is a beautiful, elegant, unique contemporary style floor fountain that is perfect for any outdoor setting. It can also be used indoors on non-carpeted floors. It is made of durable high quality fiberglass, molded to a stunning detailed design, and has a rich natural finish that looks like real stone, even though it is lightweight. Withstands all types of weather, however, do not keep water in fountain if temperatures are below freezing. This will cause the fountain to crack. The water circulates up to the top and flows over the "orb" onto the top shelf, and then cascades down the rippled wall (with unique design) into the pool of water in the basin. The cascading waterfalls sounds are very beautiful and soothing. Included is a quiet adjustable-flow water pump that plugs into most any electrical outlet.
