I live on a canyon, and we get finches, orioles, doves, pigeons, bluebirds almost all year round.  I've tried many bird feeders over the years, but nothing comes close to this one for looks, design and being solid and sturdy.  Most of the other bird feeders I've used have broken, other than a metal finch feeder I still have.  As soon as I took it out of the box, I could tell how solid and well-made this bird feeder is.  And access to put the bird seed inside is very well engineered.  Other feeders of this type I've had are flimsy.  Not only that, it's mid-century reminiscent design is very stylish, and will beautify any area.  I can see many years of use from this feeder.  I will most likely buy another one to compliment this one.
