Water falls between three basins rather than into one, which is what produces a layered sound instead of a single splash. Two built-in LEDs light the tiers after dark in a warm white. A 16.5 ft cord reaches from a patio socket to wherever the fountain sits. Resin over fiberglass keeps it to 10.5 lbs, light enough to bring in for winter, measuring 9.5 x 9 x 18.5 in - tabletop scale rather than a garden centerpiece. The pump comes with it and no assembly is needed. Gray.
