Feeder is the best one we ever have had. We live in a wooded area with a large squirrel population and every squirrel that has tried to get to feed has been defeated! Birds are loving it! Because squirrels can’t get to feed there is a lot less seed dropping so less mess under feeder too. Was easy to assemble and is very sturdy compared to other feeders. Easy to refill and saving on seed since less is lost to ground.Going to definitely purchase another one for other area in yard. Has been a pleasure watching birds feed without squirrels disruption!
