Tom ChambersGrand Bird Station

Very pleased with this bird feeder, it's solid. Having had feeders in the past which moved about in high winds and having to stabilise them time and time again this one is going nowhere. Easy to assemble but I will say remove screws before sliding on the stabilised feet as I scratched the enamel putting feet on. I put water bowl quite low as bigger birds ie. Crows ect will use it as platform to get to feeders. The price I believe is appropriate as this feeder will last in all weathers for many years. I can now sit back and watch the birds explore their new feeding station.

This bird feeder was very easy to assemble and is much stronger than others we have purchased. Stability is very good once installed and there are plenty of hooks for hanging feeders. The wire seed tray is a very good size and the water tray is useful. The only downside is the price, however, if this lasts as well as hoped it represents reasonable value for money.

This feeding station is much better quality than the cheaper ones so it is double the price simple as that , even more if you find the same item in the large garden centres . It was dispatched and arrived very quickly , assembly is straight forward and the instructions are adequate if a bit vague . The long prongs which stop it blowing over are different lengths and the positioning will become obvious , so you insert the main pole into the ground a reasonable depth I used a soft faced mallet then you gently hammer the supports down flush and it feels real sturdy .The only downside I have found so far is the poor paint finish as you cannot help but scratch the pole whilst sliding the feeding stations up and down to position them . It also would be better if the centre pole sections could be fastened in place rather than just a slide fit as this tends to encourage a slight lean at the joints.All in all a good sturdy feeder which the birds found literally minutes after I had finished erecting it.PS In the hot weather it helps if you dampen the ground where you intend to place it before hand which facilitates easier fitting of the ground supports .

Came quickly, put together well, nice and sturdy, wildlife likes it.

We bought this bird feeder hoping it would be a high quality, sturdy one. And it is! It looks great and doesn’t move at all in our windy area.

A quality, substantial, easy to assemble item that is well worth the higher price. I feared it would take ages to put it together and as an older lady I suspected it may be to heavy for me to do myself. However, although it is certainly not 'lightweight', and as long as you take note of the pictures on the box end, it's easy peasy! I also ordered the squirrel guard to use with it, despite having read other reviews that the center hole was too small and needed to be drilled to enlarge it to fit it on the stand, but this is not the case. The stand comes in three sections and by placing the squirrel guard between one of the upper sections onto the 'male' sleeve,' the wider 'female sleeve slides down and holds it in place. Perfect. I was going to deduct one star because in a couple of places the brown paint is missing from the hanging arms but this isn't going to affect the enjoyment of the many birds who now visit, so i think this deserves a 5* I am so pleased with it that I am considering getting another !

Don’t bother with any other flimsy lightweight, birdfeeders. They will blow over in the slightest wind and will rot within a year. This one will last forever and has stood firm with the recent gales.

I am delighted with the quality of this product. The birds in our garden were on it in minutes. They love perching on the extra arms. Be careful when fitting together as screws did catch slightly on poles and left a scratch. However, I’d recommend this product.
