Summary: To be fair... 2008-11-16
Comment: I've read the other reviews but I must disagree.
Regarding the suction cup issue, that's nonsense since this item comes with HD suctions cups and the option of mounting it with Velcro (in addition to the suction cups) on 3 sides of the feeder.
The one-way mirrored glass is great for watching birds up close and personal without frightening them. Great for your indoor cats as well.
The feeder is a great idea and it works great!

Summary: Poorly made, very fragile, and way overpriced. Truly junk. 2008-08-28
Comment: The first one I received was broken in several places (plexiglass AND wood), though the box it came in showed no signs of trauma. The company was nice and immediately sent me a second one no questions asked. That one came and had ill-fitting parts and was loosely assembled.
Really a neat idea, but poorly executed.

Summary: Possibly the worst-engineered & built item in Earth history 2005-01-02
Comment: The only-- and I mean ONLY-- reason this item gets a star is because there is no zero-star (or lower) option provided. Up front, I must confess I purchased (and RETURNED!) this item elsewhere; I have been satisfied with my Amazon purchases thru the years & don't mean to cost them a potential sale, but felt it was my obligation to humanity to prevent another soul from repeating my mistake & buying this steaming pile of...(since children may be reading I'll leave it at that).
I used to have a window-mounted feeder (with a REAL 1-way mirror) to keep cats entertained, but it eventually succumbed to the elements. This one was originally intended as a gift for my grandmother, who enjoys birdwatching, and her cat...the alleged "1-way mirror" can easily be seen through from outside, but compared to all of this item's other fatal flaws, who cares?
First off, it arrived with the copper "arch" inside, which is supposed to regulate the "flow" of the seed, being dislodged, which took several tedious minutes to realign in the grooves. It wasn't glued in or otherwise secured for reasons I'll never know. The included "suction" cups (fastened to the unit with the included HEADLESS screws!!) ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT stick to the (completely clean & spotless) window, NO MATTER WHAT was done to them. Having an engineering background, I don't consider fastening suction cups to be over my head. Anyhow, it fell off (aptly, into a garbage can full of rags) 4 times in the first few minutes. After it was REinstalled yet AGAIN, the copper arch "popped out" and floods of seed came pouring out of it. Took it down AGAIN(!), emptied it, repaired the "arch", refilled it, and lo and behold, one of the top cups let go AGAIN, and it swung over upside-down & the screw ripped right out of the wood. Needless to say, the rest of the seed spilled all over, AGAIN! Words can't even begin to describe how far beyond worthless this item is.
