I looked for a long time to find a fountain with good reviews. This wasn't too small for our patio, and wasn't that cheap resin. This came boxed very well 2 days after I placed the order. The size is 34 inches to the top handle on the picture. It is made of a mix of concrete and fiberglass,so it has a good weight and it won't blow over. The pump has a sliding lever from minus to plus for the water flow. It comes set to the plus and moves the water very well. I am sure you can adjust the flow by sliding the lever in the opposite direction or attaching a clip to the plastic hose inside the large pot. The birds love the noise and the flow of the water is relaxing. It will help keep your conversations private if you have close neighbors and block their noise.
