This is a very nicely made bird bath. It looks like metal even up close. I like that they made it so you can fill the center pedestal with sand or gravel to give it some weight. Otherwise, it is too lightweight, even with water in it. A good gust of wind would blow it over, but they also give you several metal stakes to help hold it in place. I have added a small solar floating fountain, because I read that the hummingbirds like the moving water, so you will see that in the picture. It was easy to put together and well packaged, too. I was torn between choosing the copper or green color, but I'm glad I chose the copper- it looks great in my mostly green garden.
