The media could not be loaded. The pictures next to a square box of Kleenex are to reference size but this little fountain is amazing! Instructions are a bit vague but it's pretty simple to put together anyway. I did hear the motor sound from previous video I watched on reviews but once I put enough water it/got it completely under the water, it went away. I love that the motor has different motor settings and after several attempts to get just the right speed, it was perfect! I can understand the "sink left running" sound but that is what fountains and streams sound like, so if you close your eyes and imagine being on a riverbank you are totally there with this! You have to play with the rocks a little to get the sound you want, but all in all it is definitely worth it. This was for my desk at work and it really is perfect! There were 3 reasons that I gave 4 stars. #1-Light is hard to get to stick/stay where you need it to so that the ball lights up. #2-Even when you get the light in the right place, the colors are hard to see in the daytime with lights on. . . .it was on in my picture but again you can't see it. #3-The ball on top was hard to get to spin. . . Idk if it will affect the motor or not later on but I ended up putting some lotion in my hands then rubbing the ball with it before turning it on and now it is spinning fantastically!

The media could not be loaded. It was easy to assemble. It has a very calming sound and love the globe at the top. The globe turns beautifully making it seem as if bubbles are coming out of the top part of the fountain. I had small fountains in the past and the problem they had is that they splattered water wetting the surface they were placed. This faintsin does not splutter!
The sound is loud enough to be heard over relaxing music.
It is affordable, light, functional and beautiful.
I highly recommend it if you want to purchase a desk fountain. It will help you relax and be peaceful.

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for something for my desk and this caught my eye. The only thing I had trouble with were the instructions. They are not very clear, the pictures were no help, so I figured it out myself. I'm not sure what the switch on the pump is for, but I think it's for the strength of the pump. Low, med, high.
I added a few extras because it seemed a little bare.

i bought this as a christmas gift for my dad because i know he likes a peaceful home environment and i thought this fountain would add to it. the instructions were a tad confusing at first but after looking at the pictures and the fountain i was able to put it together easily and quickly! the fountain unfortunately does require distilled water but i was able to go out and find it easily. it's super quiet and the crystal ball is super cute and tranquil. the value for money was great and my dad loved it .. must buy!!

The water fountain is easy to assemble and gives such a nice ambiance in my office, the only thing that annoys me is the fact that you have to constantly refill the water tank
