The assembly of the fountain was fairly easy, it took a total time of about 20 minutes as a read all the directions first and washed everything as it recommended. This is very cute. I really like the light that shows how much water is in it. It will blink red when water is low. I also like how the pump will shut off if it gets too low on water. I signed up on the app and this is a nice feature as Marie · chewy.com
