Deluxe Bird Feeding Station

I bought this as a gift for my dad as his old one was rubbish, I have had this one myself and it is excellent quality, the poles are very strong and last for years and the ground spike design in my opinion is the best on the market, my soil is clay on chalk so the flimsy spikes just fall over, this one will definitely stay where you put it. Mine came with a rubber bung to push into the top of the base pole so you could hammer in without damaging the thread, excellent addition! Because it screws together it is much more stable than the push type ones. When mine eventually breaks I will buy this one again, very good value for money. Also, if you want to add more hooks you can buy them separately and mine have fixed on very well.

Well designed and well engineered. The thick section pole has 4 flat blade stabilisers welded onto the bottom section and is supplied with a tough plastic temporary plug to drive the bottom section into the ground, so as to avoid damage to the thread. The pole is made up of 4 sections that fit together with a close fitting fine pitch parallel pipe thread. Definitely a very stiff and ridged pole when assembled. Care should be taken when assembling the sections as pipe threads are easy to cross thread. The finish on all parts is a pleasant heavy duty, durable, dark green paint. I doubt that I will ever need to buy another as this feeding station will last forever. Of course it's twice the price of many others but it's 10 times better. I am very pleased with mine and can highly recommend this item to others.

Really good product I would highly recommend it well worth the money. The birds love it as well. Be careful when putting it in the ground. Ours didn't go in vertically probably hit a stone or some obstruction in the ground. It looked odd at an angle so I rather stupidly tried to straighten it by pushing on the pole. Big mistake. Partially stripped one of the threads. I had to dig it out and start again. Being an ex engineer I had the tools to drill and pin the damaged thread. So not a fault with the product if handled correctly it really is very good.

A beautiful garden feeding station, purchased for my mothers 80th birthday and she loves it. Brother put it together in a short time and planted in mums chosen spot. The birds have increased their visits and are giving a lot of pleasure to my parents. Only one wee fault that is not really a problem, but the water dish once in situ is not easily removed for cleaning but suggest flooding it with water when doing so until satisfied with the result. Overall a very nice item that is sturdy and attractive. An excellent present to give and well received/loved.

I am sorry now I never brought this years ago! as I probably would be still using in it instead this is the 4th feeder I have brought,I never liked the cost of this one so avoided it, but having now purchased it I can see it is worth every penny, as it is a very well made, Pole screws together so it is solid and straight where my others always tended to lean a bit. I will add it is very well packed to. A very Happy customer.

So far I have no problems, the bird feeder arrived on the date given and was exactly as expected. It was easy to assemble, with some information included and some on the box. After 24 hours we are delighted that this is far superior to our previous Gardman feeder whch was difficult to assemble and leaned and wobbled. This heavier duty feeder, although more expensive is fit for purpose and we are thus far happy with it.

the feeders are NOT included--however this matter was amicably resolved. looks good and strong.

I bought the Tom Chambers Deluxe Bird Feeding Station as a gift for my wife, although we both derive a great deal of pleasure from watching the birds feeding in our garden - even if the majority of them are quarrelsome starlings... It was by way of an upgrade from what I would take to be one of the brand-leading (and certainly more ubiquitous) feeding stations which, after three years or so of service was starting to show its age. By comparison, this new station is streets ahead in terms of solidity and finish and I particularly like the way the various pole sections are threaded to screw firmly together - even while acknowledging that the top pair of sections will have to be periodically unscrewed to release the water tray for cleaning. The device that anchors the station into the ground works very effectively meaning that, with a little care, a perfectly perpendicular end result is possible, which I have no doubt will be retained over time, even in windy conditions. I complemented my purchase with three Tom Chambers feeders - one for suet balls, another for seed and a third for peanuts. And there they hang - untouched by any avian creature apart from three long-tailed tits; newcomers who visited on day two. The station occupies exactly the same position as its predecessor, but for some reason the birds don't view it as positively as I do. I strongly suspect that the problem may be due to the hammer finished metal hoods on two of the feeders, which overhang, obliging visitors to approach from below; I have observed sparrows and starlings swooping in as if to feed then being deterred at the last moment, presumably in a bid to preserve their plumage. The station has been up a week and I'm hoping that at some point the birds will return, because while it was expensive enough to be an art installation, and is undeniably well-made, it is not quite the last word in aesthetics.
