These more compact fountain models are perfect to place almost anywhere. You wouldn't want to set one on the floor, but tables, shelves, desks, dressers and counter tops are perfect for placing these models. Most will measure between 7 and 14 inches tall, so you can easily set one in any room without it getting in the way. If you would prefer a larger unit that can sit on the ground, then you should check out the floor model fountains.
