Red Carpet Studio Crystal Dreams Double Cherry Hummingbird Feeder

I'm pleased with this set of feeders. They're as beautiful as they look in the picture. But there are some things you might want to take note of before deciding if these are for you.

First of all the globes are glass. Be careful opening the box. The two halves of the styrofoam holding the globes are not taped together and they could come apart as you remove them from the box. As a result the globes could slip out and drop and break.
