Summary: Broken in less than two weeks! 2010-07-25
Comment: I loved the way this feeder looked, and bought it on line. I found the way the top fit to be annoying, but managed to get used to that. But within a week, the entire structure of the feeder was crooked, some of the panels had detached from the bottom, and within two weeks it was totally broken. My last feeder lasted for 4 years, so I know that this isn't about the usage, but instead about this very flimsily built feeder. I definitely WOULD NOT recommend this for anyone.

Comment: This feeder has become the bird's favorite on our property, emptying this feeder @ almost a 2/1 rate.

Summary: It's nice at first but finish doesn't last 2010-07-13
Comment: I've had this for awhile now. The nice finish quickly wears off in a few months (perhaps because mine got a lot of sun), and it broke when I pulled the metal string too hard. As another review mentioned, it can get clogged at the bottom when it rains - thus requiring some intervention to unclog it.
It's a decent feeder though, and it holds a lot of seed, just don't expect it to look brand new for very long.

Summary: Fantastic Feeder! 2010-06-20
Comment: I have nothing but praise for this feeder: birds LOVE it!
Solid construction for a light-weight feeder, heavy-duty cable to hang the feeder, nice push-button locking lid for easy refills and tight fit when closed, and it holds a LOT of seed, so even with heavy traffic refills are not needed as often as with the smaller feeders. Plus, due to the weight, it provides a solid feeding station (doesn't sway all over the place) in windy conditions or when 5-6 birds are feeding at once.
Not sure about the reviewer who complained about wet seed: I live in one of the wettest parts of the country (Seattle), my feeder is hanging off a balcony in the rain, and have had no issues... in fact, it's been raining all morning and I have had a steady stream of birds enjoying their breakfast!
Recommendation: the plastic perching ring is very smooth/slick... a quick roughing with a nail file makes it much easier for the birds to grasp.

Comment: I love the look of this bird feeder and apparently so do the birds because they FLOCK to this bird feeder. It could be better made, but for the price it's not too shabby! "Santa" brought this to me and I like it very much!
