Royal Lion Head 31 1/2" High Indoor Outdoor Bronze Wall Large Fountain | Rustic Decor with Light LED Statue Waterfall Tiered Basin Water Feature for Outside Garden Patio Yard Backyard

The product was packaged well and shipped promptly. Although the assembly instructions could have been more thorough, it was very easy to assemble and there is a single metal hook built into the back of the fountain (top center) to use for hanging. (This was actually a selling point for me. One of the other fountains I looked at on Amazon had two "V" openings for hanging that weren't level.) If you use a screw to hang it, the unit will sit flush against the wall. It isn't stated in the instructions, but the peg located on the front side of the inside of the main water bowl is to mount the light ring. There is no way to hide the black electrical cord that I could find so it is hanging out of the main water bowl off to the side. I will likely purchase a bronze cord cover and run it down the center of the wall under the fountain. As for the sound... I purchased this fountain to provide a relaxing sound atmosphere on our deck. The sound produced by the fountain is very pleasant albeit a little louder than I anticipated. I filled the lower main bowl to the inside rim, approximately 1" from the top edge. I used Britta filtered water--it took about 3 pitchers full. I also added an enzyme to prevent yuckiness but safe for animals (just in case). I found that, on average, I add another pitcher full every other day, dependent on the weather. There is a little splash out so don't hang this fountain above anything that shouldn't get wet. The biggest challenge was drilling into the exterior brick wall! I was using a cordless 20V drill which has more than enough torque to do the job. I purchased a masonry drill bit which corresponded to the masonry screw I purchased to hang the fountain. Here is my big advice: I just grabbed a masonry bit and didn't really make any comparisons on price, brand, etc. After 10 minutes of continuous drilling, I was barely 1/4" in! Called the hardware store to ask what I was doing wrong. They suggested slowing the drill down and applying light pressure. A little better but getting nowhere fast. Back to the hardware store. It turns out that, in each box of masonry screws, a bit is provided. The salesperson dug around in the drawer of screws and pulled it out and GAVE it to me. Major improvement! LESSON LEARNED: Get a decent masonry drill bit to save yourself 2 hours of drilling time.

I must admit I was wary when I ordered this; The price seemed too low and I wondered how sturdy it might really be. And then it arrived. Apparently the weight problems mentioned by other reviewers have been resolved as the shipping charges seemed appropriate. I was concerned that the large box had been substantially smashed in on two sides but, when removed, the fountain was in good shape. Initially I was perplexed by the instructions which for a pedestal and bowl fountain but it took only a bit of thought to conquer the problem. (Rather than try to mount the circulating pump through the hole in the back, one brings the hose through the front and lays the pump in the basin of the fountain.) To test it I hung it in my kitchen and allowed it to run for several hours as much to clean it as to verify that the mechanics all worked. Next test was to mount it on the side of the garage that forms part of the walls for my front garden. The only problem here was that there was no adjacent electrical outlet but it was an easy task to drill a hole through the wall and access an outlet in the garage. This is a West facing wall and can heat up to above 120 so I wondered how the resin might survive. Happily, after noon, the sun puts that area in shade and I've had no problems. Aesthetically it makes an attractive focal point for what was a dull area. I'm considering using a dry brush and some of the paint the colour of the garage to highlight the piece. If I have one modes complaint it's that the water tends to run out rather than shoot out the lions mouth but, lacking that, it produced a pleasant water feature noise that accentuates what is really an entrance to my home. Several guests have commented on it and I'm well pleased. Given the price and ease of installation and final effect, this is a great addition as well as a great buy.One further suggestion. If you live in an area prone to high heat you will need to replenish the water supply at least daily. Also, when filling it the first time do NOT attempt to fill the basin completely. There's a opening in the rear that keeps the water from overflowing from the front.

UM it’s perfect!!! I do refill it every 3 days here in Florida in the shade, pump does need to be cleaned out regularly to avoid clogging and burning out. I added rocks to mine which gave more of the look I was going for. Product itself is heavy but adding rocks made it really heavy so make sure you use the correct materials for wherever you hang. This is not black it’s a bronze close to off black brownish color. The light on the inside is constantly on when fountain is plugged in and has a yellow warm light which is such a cute touch at night! We covered the black cord with cord cover to our outlet for a more seamless look. Worth every penny love the sound of the water walking up yo our front door and get many compliments. Hope someone finds this helpful!

It's important to connect the wiring properly between the lights and the water pump. I had to re-do mine a few times before I got it right. Also, the middle drip hole does not work very well. It hardly drips at all. But it is pretty and sounds great! The honeybees love it, too!

I would give this 4.5 stars if I could for overall attractiveness BUT for function purposes it really deserves a 1. Color is a little weird but it still compliments my tile color pallet so I don't mine it. *Yes, the water WILL project outside of the rim*. I have it suspended and no matter which way I prop it to perhaps adjust the angle of water projection, water continues to spray outside of the rim. I had to get crafty and use a bendable piece of plastic (then thought of something else) aluminum (take-out delivery leftover pan) and cut a piece. I bent it, and stuck it in the holes to try to guide the water more downwards. This still didn't fully resolve the problem but it did help. However, for a total cost over $200, this item should function perfectly and I shouldn't have to make weird adjustments to it. I am not interested in dealing with the hassle of returns and styrofoam all over again so I'll deal with this issue. The lighting is nice, although I wish it could illuminate the upper portion as well and it doesn't. I have uplighting in the space so it's not a concern to me. Overall nice but water function is frustrating and a bummer.

Fairly easy to set up. Ensure you use a nail or screw sufficiently strong to hold it including the weight of about a gallon of water. It has very realistic looking... faux stone.

This is a Great Lionhead Wall Fountain. Easily converts to Solar Pump if desired. Light weight, easy to install. Quiet, peaceful water sounds.

Love this fountain! Looks great in our garden !
