Overall, this is a really nice feeding station with lots of options. The materials are vey good, easy to assemble and look great. The variety provides for different kinds of foods/birds. We have soft ground so I added a short metal stake for added stability but would not be needed in harder ground.
I haven't put this together yet. All the pieces appear to be in the box. Taking to Arizona this winter for the birds so will know more afterward. Seems like the arms won't support much weight... we'll see.
OH I AM TRULY IN LOVE WITH MY FEEDER AND SO ARENT ALL MY MANY WILDLIFE FRIENDS! WHAT A QUALITY MULTI BIRDFEEDING STATION, IT IS AMAZING. I SWITHCHED OUT THE PEANUT FEEDER AS IT ONLY ENCOURAGED THE SQUIRRELS TO ATTEMPT TO CLIMB IT BUT I PUT IN A FLANGE SO THEY CANNOT, THEIR FEEDING STATION IS ELSEWHERE IN MY YARD! THE WATER DISH THEY LOVE AND USE IT TO SPLASH AROUND IN AND ITS ALL SO WONDERFUL FOR THEM AND ME! GREAT PURCHASE!
Attractive looking, but the welds are cheesy on the spikes intended to secure it in the ground. One of them broke off just being pounded with a rubber mallet in soft soil.
