I have just received my feeder and it is just as described with the excetion of the size. I was expecting the feeder to be slightly larger, 12.5 inches in diameter, when in reality it is only 11 inches. With the size aside, I am pleased with my purchase.

The construction is great. Joints meet and it doesn't look like it was made in 7th grade shop class. The large opening makes it easy to fill but I do use a copy sheets of paper as a funnel to make sure there isn't spillage. It's very sturdy...the squirrels have been jumping around on it for weeks now and show no signs of damage. The feed comes out easily for the birds.

What a piece of junk!! This arrived in a box that could have contained two feeders. Needless to say, with just a bit of paper-- yes, it got tossed around and part of it was broken. I had to staple and glue it on one side. With that being said, the workmenship (if thats what you want to call it) is horendous. A 7th grader in shop could have done a better job.

I haven't had a chance to use the bird feeder yet. It arrived damaged. One of the sides is loose. I tried glueing it, but it didn't stick. Once I find the right glue -not easy, since I don't drive - I can probably fix it. I hope the unfinished wood will hold up.

One week later: I tried with better glue. It didn't hold. I asked someone in our woodshop to glue it, it came apart again. Now I have a damaged feeder and birdseed spilled all over.

Attractive design, easy to set up. And quite durable, given the squirrels hanging off it and chewing on it. It certainly is not squirrel proof -- though it does present a good challenge for them to overcome -- but few bird feeders are.
