More than a month after my purchase I can attest to the value for money of this decorative object also useful for small birds. From the first days after spending two layers of linseed oil to enhance the protection, the cottage has been the target of many birds of the sky. I fixed on a cut tree trunk, about 1.50 m tall, and not too far from home to be able to observe; I could even see the birds fight to come eat! The only gripe is the presence of Staple nailing that are visible on the bars edges, but by far they remain invisible. One of my friends asked me to order it the same! It is also super happy. It remains to evaluate this article in time, but a priori it is well done and it's solid. I would add that the delivery was fast and that the chalet is packed full protection in a large cardboard with Styrofoam inserts. No damage during transport. For the money, for me it's perfect.
