“Love this water fountain. Right now I have it on my farmhouse dining room table so I can hear the trickling water. I have it sitting on a plastic bag under a towel for any water splatters. I may replace the towel with a nice runner or pretty piece of fabric to look better and enjoy a while where it is. Very very little water splatters. I did carefully adjust a leaf or 2 very carefully to not cause any damage. I am pretty sure adjustment is not recommended. Eventually I will put it on my front or back porch. Would 100% purchase again. No complaints. Just don’t overfill bottom container with too much water.”
