Perfect rustic feeder, I love this!
I love this so much, it fits in with my decor and is so unique. The wood grain is beautiful and the treatment to blacken it was expertly done. The craftsman included sections with lovely knots and swirls which maximizes the aesthetic appeal. I'm delighted to have this displayed in my kitchen instead of an ordinary ugly bowl from the pet store.<br /><br /> It is sturdy enough so my food-crazed 90 lb Lab does not knock it over or even budge it. And it makes me happy to see her eat without bending to the floor. I know she has arthritis in her back, so I'm sure this must be much more comfortable for her.<br /><br />The feeder arrived sooner than expected.  I was surprised to get it so fast. The shipping box was beat to heck and ripped open on one side, I was sure the feeder would be damaged or broken but it wasn't, just some scuffs and scrape along the exposed side which I fixed easily with sandpaper to ensure no splinters. Since it is rustic in the first place it isn't noticeable. There are reinforcement boards on the inside corners of the feeder to make it even sturdier, which probably helped it survive the abuses inflicted upon it by the postal service.<br /><br />The bowl is included and fits perfectly. The size that I purchased is &#34;Large&#34;, and it comes with a standard size 2 qt aluminum bowl so it can easily be replaced if you need a new one or prefer a different color, I might get a red one for the holidays.
