Product Description

White cottage with natural wood roof features charming details including faux dormers, bay window, flower pots, rocking chair and picket fence. River rock chimney. The architectural detail of Le Petit Chalet’s birdhouses and feeders add unique beauty to any home. Reminiscent of quaint country cottages, Victorian houses, chapels and other charming buildings, Le Petit Chalet uses real wood, exterior water-based paint, with UV protection, and galvanized screws and nails for top-quality construction and long-lasting beauty. Le Petit Chalet birdhouses and feeders are also built with attention to the needs of birds with details like breathing and drainage holes, bird hole openings, space inside and distance from hole to floor researched and incorporated on every model. Climate and the elements will weather the house and change its appearance over time; however, weathering will add to the item's natural charm without compromising its function. Should you want to preserve the finish (paint), it is recommended to cover it with two to three coats of a water-based semi-gloss outdoor wood finish. You should expect that once left outside, the product will weather and require refinishing.

I've only had this product for a week or so but it is wonderful. I don't know how it will weather yet. The instructions say to coat it with a layer of water based varathane, but there is no spray form of this so I would have to buy a can and literally coat the whole thing. Not my idea of a fun time so I will have to wait and see. My only other two gripes are that price went down right after I bought it, and the mounting pole I bought separately was made of wood and not really the greatest product to bury in the dirt - which I had to do for my application. But where are you going to find a birdhouse this beautiful?

Bought this as a gift for my mom's birthday. She loved the little details -- a woodpile, flower boxes, a rocking chair, etc. Very nice craftsmanship. Not sure how it would hold up outside in the elements, because my mom wouldn't consider putting it outside! Overall a very nice birthday or mother's day gift.
