I ordered this item on Sept. 11th received the product on September 13th and assembled and installed in my backyard on Sept. 14th. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. The tools required were a long srewdriver, 8", a crescent wrench or a pair of pliers, tape measure and hammer(to pound the anchoring pegs into the ground). Assembly took about 1 hour. The windmill is well made. The only negative comment I have is that the nuts used in the assembly are square and are sometimes difficult to start on the threads of the screws at the topmost bracket. So if you are looking for a solid well built design this is the one. The price is a selling point too.

5.0 out of 5 stars "American" windmill ISN"T, but..., May 31, 2008

I was disappointed when I found out this was made in China - like so many other things. It is "American" in style only. However, I must say that i'm pleased with the smooth finish, ease of assembly and that there is a grease zerk for lubrication. No sharp edges, and nicer than most. I mounted mine on a Quikcrete base and set the legs in halfblocks filled with Quikcrete, and put it where, hopefully, birds won't fly into the spinning blades (which, historically, have red tips)

The product itself was good, but it could have been packaged better for shipping. The box was torn open at the top and bottom corners with pieces protruding from the box, thankfully, everything was there. It went together well, however, it is not a one person job. After it was erected, a thunderstorm with high winds came through, knocking limbs from trees. The windmill is still standing being secured with the anchors sent with it.
