Ground stakes which are encluded are long and push deep into the ground giving the feeder a good solid base in any type soil. The look is that of a piece of Asian sculpture. Peaceful, serene and absolutely beautiful. Place it in a special secluded spot in the garden near a bench, a window or patio where it can be veiwed year round. Oh, and the birds it attracts are of course an added bonus. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Kay Flowers (granbury, texas) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Opus 82051 Zen Bird Feeder with Stand (Lawn & Patio) I use these bird feeder stands to hang my hanging baskets for flowers. These stands are so stable and strong, they don't bend when the flower basket is heavy with water. And they look great! BUT... assembling them is a problem. I bought 6 of them. Two were no problem to assemble. The other four were a nightmare. The metals come with pre-drilled holes for the nuts and bolts. Unfortunately, the holes don't align. We ended up using very thin bolts (several trips to Home Depot) that could squeeze by the poor alignment. So far seems to be working. By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Opus 82051 Zen Bird Feeder with Stand (Lawn & Patio) After reading the other reviews I was expecting to have trouble assembling this. I was pleasantly surprised! It took no more than 20 minutes to assemble and there were no glitches. Just didn't know where the wingnut went, but it didn't seem to need it. If you use a large funnel to fill the feeder, then the seeds won't hit the ring and bounce off. Even if you don't use a funnel, it isn't that big of a deal. I like the fact I can place it on my patio and not have to secure it in the grass or dirt as it's very heavy and stable. Best of all, it's beautiful and unique! It also arrived very quickly - faster than 2 books I ordered on the same day. |
