Gets the job done.,

This tube feeder is pretty good. I've got this one and also the one without the wooden tray and top that's made by the same company. I actually prefer the model without the wood components. Mine actually doesn't have the wooden tray attached to it anymore. After some time had passed, I just simply tore it off. That's not a problem though because without the wooden tray, the feeder's bottom is identical to the other tube feeder model without the wooden parts (The wooden tray wasn't that strong.). The birds use this tube feeder quite a bit, but not always as much as the one without the wooden parts--both of them contain the same type of seed. Location could be the reason for that maybe. I also use a baffle above it to deter squirrels and to keep it from getting wet. I recommend getting the model without the wooden top and tray though. I actually rate this feeder 3.5 stars. It's still a good feeder that gets the job done with the birds.

This feeder is OK; however, I would not purchase it again. Itwill get dirtier than my other feeders because it has a tray, whichyou cannot remove. It works best as a finch feeder. The chickadees and nuthatches do not like the perches at the feeding holes. Many feeders give you removeable perches. I prefer those. END
