I had help installing this: we dug a hole, stood the pole in it; stacked lots of rocks around it. Then we added 2 pieces of rebar and fastened them to the pole using plastic "zip" ties. Now it's stable! The feeders included are cheap, and one arrived bent. Would be better to knock a few $$ off the price and let customers use their own feeders. The water dish/bird bath is a nice feature, but...it's difficult to remove to keep clean. OK in the summer, when I can use garden hose, but in the winter it gets brittle. It finally broke.

this bird feeder pole feeds a lot of different birds, with different feed and feeders I've gotten woodpeckers and even warblers. ... however the first big wind storm we had blew it over and spilled everything everywhere! . I purchased the ground twister socket that screws into the ground so it gives it more stability but thank God I have a husband who thinks outside of the box! you can't just put the pole in like you would think, because the pole on this feeder has at least 2 inches of a pointed end so it goes into the ground, he had to physically cut the pole with a saw to get it to fit into the additional piece that I bought that supposedly was to go hand in hand with this product. With all that done, now it withstands wind storms. Squirrels do climb right up the pole like a tree so I suggest a heavy duty metal squirrel baffle, I bought the plastic one that mounts on the pole that they sell and they still get around it. I now grease the pole every couple days so they can't climb up. I would still recommend, just it needs a bit of tweaking.

We have it outside our kitchen windows and we have at least twice as many birds as we did before because I am able to offer a variety of seeds and mealy worms. This year we had a robins nest, cardinal nest and cat bird nest in our patio which we didn't before. Even our wild turkeys came to check it out. I gave it four stars because it isn't squirrel proof. Definately love the fact that we've had more birds than ever and fewer bugs.

I have had this station set up in my yard for three days. The birds have already found the feeders. You don't have to use the feeders that come with this. I have a hummingbird feeder on one of the hooks. I switch feeders around for winter and summer so the suet feeders will be great in the winter. I am quite pleased with this feeding station.
