 Not worth it Jul 05, 2008
By Go Buckeyes
"Maria"
I bought this for my mother thinking it would be light for her to be able to lift/clean vs. the traditional heavy concrete baths. I was embarrassed by the supporting base that wouldn't hold the bowl. The base is three separate flimsy hollow tubes. When you set the bowl onto them they spread and the bowl falls to the ground. Maybe additional parts needed weren't included.... Regardless, the base was too flimsy and not shaped correctly to hold the bowl well anyway. I would have returned it if my mother had not discarded the box.

Top great, stand POOR Apr 19, 2009
By Balb Kubrox
"Balb"
The terra cotta bowl is great, wonderful, beautiful, all as advertised. The stand, however, is astoundingly poor.
The way it's all meant to assemble is shockingly flimsy. Notice the photo doesn't show you how long the stand actually is, or how the other end looks. It turns out you join the three angled pieces to three straight pieces by jamming them into "connectors," or one-inch brittle vinyl tubes as they're called in the real world. They don't fit well, but if you use too much force, the vinyl connectors shatter. One mistake and you're either S.O.L. or committed to an even flimsier jury-rigged job.
If everything goes well and you haven't busted your plastic or bent your metal rods, then you're supposed to stick it into the ground. If you look at other birdbath stands on the market, they're either wide at the bottom (to sit steady on the ground), or they use two spikes to secure it firmly in the earth. This is designed with ONE rod, so right away it suffers from the wobbles. If you wanted it secure, you have to press the column of joined pieces a foot into the dirt, leaving the bowl about 2 feet off the ground. There's your bird bath, just above knee level. It looks pretty ridiculous, and it's well within reach of cats.
I ended up hanging mine with the included chain. It works fine that way, but I ordered this so I could place a birdbath in a garden, not under a tree. I can recommend it for anyone wanting a hanging bath, at least.

 Terra Cotta Bird Bath Apr 15, 2008
By Sharon E. Goodspeed
This is a wonderful bird bath for the price paid. Looks great in the yard and the fact that it is terra cotta, it will hold up during the Northeast seasons!

Stand doesn't work Mar 06, 2009
By Rock Chalk Jayhawk
I bought this bird bath to use with the base, and was very disappointed. The base is made up of three separate pieces that come together through a connector. The three pieces are flat on the bottom and very difficult to push into the ground far enough to hold the weight of the terra cotta bowl, especially once it's full of water. The result is that it constantly falls over.

 perfect for small garden May 27, 2008
By A. Whitehall
I used the stake and it fit in my space fine. Stake could be a bit sturdier. All in all this b bath is a cute and functional item!
