| The unit arrived earlier than expected and the assembly instructions are good and the task was completed quickly. All of the parts are well made and the appearance is very good. However, the central pole is created by joining three sections with nothing more than a single self tapping screw. This is a poor method of joining the sections and, as a consequence, the pole is unstable (floppy) at each intersection even though the bottom section is driven solidly into the ground. The pole wobbles when birds feed sways even in a slight breeze. I fear the worst when strong winds arrive! |

Arrived promptly, and includes simple, clear instructions on assembly, which was pretty easy.
I'm very happy with this, but - more importantly - the local birds love it. And my very old and toothless cat prefers to watch that than look at the TV! |

Really pleased with this product. sturdy construction and well finished plus you get feeders, hooks and a drinks bowl as well.

| We already had an excellent two-arm Gardman feeder. It didn't hold enough varieties of food during the recent cold winter so we ordered a four-arm one through Amazon, as we trust them to choose good suppliers. The feeder arrived promptly and well-packaged from Longacre. Unfortunately the middle one of the three elements of the stand was partly bent out of shape and couldn't be connected. (Not Longacre's fault, as the feeder was inside a Gardman box and they couldn't have seen it before packing it.) I phoned Longacres. The call was answered promptly by a friendly, courteous and helpful person who immediately said that a replacement part would be sent to us. In fact they sent us replacements for all three parts of the stand. It took us a while to work out how to connect-up the feeder as the instructions are minimal and the diagram rather misleading.Then the bottom of the stand had to be hammered quite deep into the ground, (using a piece of wood to protect it). We are delighted with it though. It is well made, elegant in design and excellent value for money. It fits in well amongst our plants and attracts a host of small birds, and it is rock solid even in the strong winds we sometimes get here. |

I purchased this feeder before Christmas with the idea of replacing a more basic Gardman feeding station. After the easy construction it had replaced the old one. The instructions are very basic but easy to follow, the parts were well constructed and went together very easily. With this feeder you do get the feeders supplied which are basic but the do save you having to purchase feeders if you are just starting out, however I already had some very good feeders by The Nuttery, so the supplied ones are now kept as spares.
Overall this feeder is great value for money and went though the bad winter well with no problems and gave the birds an easier time finding food. One suggestion though if you live in an area with sqirrels and that is to also purchase the Gardman squirrel baffle as it stops them 'nicking' all the bird food!
