This is a sturdy and quality feeder but we have a problem with small birds getting their little heads trapped in the feeder holes on bottom tray! We have had to rescue two birds and cut the metal as they became trapped after going in too far for food. I am sure the company will not change the design based upon that, but it just a potential problem. We have not had any other quality issues.

This feeder is the bird's favorite and it is easy to open, refill, rinse out for cleaning and the two end holders for suet cakes are the bomb!

This is my second of these bird feeders, the first is still in use and good condition after several years of heavy use. I have several other type of feeders, but none that I like as much as these.

I have this feeder for myself and have bought one for my mom and my best friend. It's a great sturdy feeder and holds a lot of seed.

I'm very pleased with this feeder. It holds plenty of seed and with the suet holders,the birds have plenty to choose from. Would reccommend this to other bird lovers.

Great for keeping squirrels out of feeder, make sure you have a good pole to hang it on it is heavy when filled with seed.

This was a great value for the price! My husband loves to feed the birds, and he was constantly having to refill the small plastic bird feeder we had before. My parents have a very nice metal bird feeder, however, they paid an arm and a leg for their model. This is the mother of all bird feeders, with a 15lb capacity and 2 suet cages....Very heavy duty, made out of stainless steel....very affordable...super easy to assemble (I did it in less than 5 minutes). I would definitely recommend this product.

One thing to consider is that this is a two sided feeder, but you can't view the back side if it is hung as shown in the picture. I am going to block off the back side feeding area. I am feeding the birds so that I can see them. Also, the red color isn't the best. I would prefer green so that it looks more natural. Other than that works as described and seems to be of quality construction.

When I ordered this I thought it was squirrel proof. It is built out of metal and quite sturdy but the squirrels love it. The one I had previously had a lever that when the squirrels jumped on it it shut the feeder bins and the the squirrels couldn't get to the feed. That's the one I thought I was ordering.
I still enjoy it, just have to constantly scare the squirrels out of it.

Had it a few months and now the color has faded a lot, so much that especially the top/lip portion looks almost pink. Well designed otherwise. Best part is that it's easy to refill. Seeds do fall out often, as birds are feeding, makes a mess below. For us, it has attracted only House Finches and House Sparrows. Nothing larger seems comfortable on it. I don't know if it's worth re-spray painting it again someday. I will probably move on to another style that suits larger birds as well. I think 2 1/2 stars would be most fair.
