Pretty, but Needs Reinforcement,
By
This review is from: Red Carpet Studios Ltd. Cosmix Spinner Mosaic - 11" long (Lawn & Patio)
I bought one of these spinners to suspend from a garden gazebo above a bird bath (on a wire about two feet long). It's very pretty out of the box and spins very well. Unfortunately, it's pretty flimsy and I needed some modification to make mine work.First, it weighs almost nothing, so while it spins fine in a gentle breeze, any strong gusts or winds toss it around like a beach ball (which throws off its spinning). I solved this problem by drilling a hole in the base of the cage and affixing the heaviest cabinet knob I could find at the hardware store as a counterweight. Now it spins beautifully even when the wind is really blowing. Second, my model has a glass teardrop in the center, which swings and spins freely from the cage. Due to the design of the blades of the cage, this tear drop can swing between two of the blades and then become wedged between them as the rotating blades "sweep" it up. It remains caught until you manually untangle it. On mine, this happened about every ten minutes. I solved this problem by using a small piece of copper wire to affix the "spring" the teardrop sits in to the bottom of the cage (conveniently using the same screw I used to affix the cabinet knob). With those two problems fixed, it's now a very eye-catching decoration for my backyard and I'm happy with it. It just would have been nice not to have to reinforce it myself. On an unrelated note, the directions recommend putting a coat of car wax on it once a year if you want to keep it shiny. I put on a couple of coats of clear enamel spray paint instead.

This review is from: Red Carpet Studios Ltd. Cosmix Spinner with Mosaic Butterfly - 14" long (Lawn & Patio)
When I received this butterfly it seemed fragile. I have had it outside for a year now and its held up beautifully. It spins very nicely.

Nice, but...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Red Carpet Studios Ltd. Cosmix Spinner Mosaic - 11" long (Lawn & Patio)
This is a nice design, but as other reviewers have stated, it is extremely flimsy. In fact, it is paper thin. I was expecting it to have a little more heft to it. Also, the pop rivets used to hold it together are overly large and detract from the appearance.So, great design, but poor execution. 2115|R2EAS4J3AJY1WR;2115|R3636RUJ289LRN;2115|R235ELZAJCWV1E;
