Wooden Birdfeeder Outdoor Planter by Collections Etc Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The other reviewer is correct in that the supplied pole is very short and thin. It's 30" and by the time you get done driving it into the ground, only 20" will be left. At that height, this will be more of a cat feeder than a bird feeder.
I discarded the supplied pole and got a cheap section of ordinary closet pole from the local hardware store, so that my feeder is eight feet off the ground. I secured the bottom to a tree stump which gave it a very solid footing. Otherwise I think it might be wobbly unless you drive it very deep into the ground or give it a cement anchor or bolt it to a fence.
The feeder is made from very lightweight balsa and cedar and needs to be stained or it'll look too unfinished. A half pint of dark cherry stain did the trick for me. I discarded the bottom planter assembly because it just wan't the look I was going for.
It is smaller than it appears in the picture but that's because the picture makes it appear to be taller than it really is. The actual base of the feeder measures about 7-8" and the little "windows" where the birds are supposed to perch are about 2½" wide by 4 inches tall.
I'm not unhappy with it considering it was only $14, but it will take a little bit of effort on your part to make look nice. I added a picture of the finished result to the Amazon ad.
