I have so many birds that come into my back yard that I decided to buy a birdbath, the birdbath looked really nice in my back yard except now the basin is peeling and underneath is an ugly gray color I thought that it was an all weather type of birdbath , I mean arent the birds outside? So im stuck with either painting it or let it peel completely to that ugly concrete grey color underneath.

This birdbath gave instant grace to my herb and flower garden. Visitors to my home never fail to comment on how lovely it looks. The birds attract to this birdbath more than my other birdbaths because they like to perch on the twig ornament in the center of the bowl. The outer rim of the bowl has cut-outs which make it easier for the bird to grip the edge of the bowl. Also, the bowl is nice and deep, allowing the bigger birds ample room to splash and play

I was generally pleased with the bird bath. It assembles easily, and seems like it will last for quite some time. The problem with the bird bath is the depth of the bowl. Smaller bird (sparrows, finches, etc.) will shy away from using the bird bath because the bowl is quite deep. Birds will avoid water they feel they might drown in. Larger birds were quite happy with the bird bath. Since we have mostly smaller songbirds in the area, I solved the problem by adding a few inches of WELL CLEANSED gravel to the bath to reduce the depth of the bowl. Now birds of all sizes are enjoying it.

I bought this as a Christmas gift...set it up in my friend's yard with a big red bow on it. It never survived the outdoors where it is supposed to serve the birds. ALL the paint chipped off the interior of the water pan leaving the gray aluminium exposed...the bird and twig perch broke from the cold and ice.
None of this was noticed until it was too late to return this item. Save your money and put out a plastic bucket for the birds to bathe in !!! This Bird Bath is strictly NOT FOR THE BIRDS...

This was sent as a gift to my mother. Unfortunately, the first birdbath arrived with a broken edge on the bowl. The return went smoothly, and a replacement arrived promptly, but ALSO had a large chunk broken from the edge of the bowl. I don't know if it is only the protective packing which is inadequate, or if the bowl itself is too weak and would not have stood up over time, or would have broken easily if tipped over. We'll never have a chance to find out, as we are NOT opting to try another replacment!

1. bolts and nuts were not included..2. paper/plastic over steel...peeling off in big sheets....sent e-mail to get missing hardware,,never got a response...

I bought this three years ago with a gift certificate. It's sturdy, has stood outside two winters with no problems, and looks great. The birds love it.

I have been pleased with this birdbath. It was easy to assemble. The cast-iron base is very sturdy; the bowl is lighter (aluminum) so it isn't too top-heavy. It is a very nice addition to our back-yard.
