Chapelwood Complete Dining Station

The Chapelwood Complete Dining Station with Feeders is well worth its money. Unfortunately mine came with a broken feeder included, but a quick online chat with Amazon and another one was delivered the next day. In fact I was so happy with the product I kept and paid for both, rather than returning it as the broken feeder (broken perch) was such a minor part of the whole package, and I had others.I have to say that buying the feeders alone would cost as much as the whole feeding station, so you really are getting value for money. Also, as you are able to offer lots of various different types of feed via many different feeders you can just fill up, relax and enjoy the view.The good bits:The poles easily screw together and everything was assembled in less than five minutes. No extra annoying and unnecessary packaging which usually drives me mad.There are more hangers than feeders which you can leave for the birds to perch on, or you can use for any other feeders you may have. I also bought the base to keep the whole system steady and so far it's been working really well.  Chapelwood Dining Station Patio Base It is made from high quality steel, with a four-way head that is attrativce in itself. It has a removable water dish and mesh seed tray, and an additional feeding hook for a third hanging feeder or suet treat. It also comes with four click top feeders, which are well made and sturdy apart from one which has rather flimsy plasctic perches (the one that was broken on mine when it arrived)Within days it has been attracting lots of birds. I've had great tits and robins and even a woodpecker which was so exiting to see and it's literally only a few meters from the kitchen window.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EORK62C?ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

This is a bargain! The feeders are not as weak as some might suggest, they are made of a strong material and are light, the cost of the feeders if bought alone is nearly as much as the whole package as sold by Amazon. I don't normally leave feedback but this deserves a mention. The poles screw together, and the extra pole hangers are appreciated by birds as perches if placed just above and opposite the water and seed dishes. I have used only two of the poles as I have a very heavy reconstituted stone plant pot base which I bought cheaply years ago as the top had broken, it's a perfect base to hold the whole system steady. If anyone has such a base there's usually a short metal tube protruding from the top, we used part of an old bicycle handlebar which fitted around this tube and acted as a holder for the pole. If a little loose it can be wrapped using foil such as used pie dishes. I already had peanut feeders which are some distance from the house, I have placed this feeder no more than 3 metres from my front window where I have plenty of shrubs for birds to land on. It was an instant success, attracting dozens of birds all day, mainly Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, and the previously only occasionally seen Nuthatches and Tree Sparrows are regular visitors, I have now seen 14 Tree Sparrows at one time on the feeder. A pair of Doves use the seed tray and Starlings like the fat balls but also use the seed dish, I use a good grain mix including wheat plus extra sunflower hearts in the dish, and wheat free grain in the seed feeder. A sturdy, and well-designed feeding station which I would recommend to anyone.

This bird feeder is absolutely fantastic, so well made! It has been really well thought about, coming supplied with everything you need to get started, four feeders and a water dish along with an extra food dish, there are also extra hooks to be able to hang other feeders and accessories from which is great as I love those suet filled shell things so have added one of those to mine already which has kept the birds nice and happy. The four feeders are each designed to house different food source, peanuts, Nyger seeds, mixed seeds and suet balls so you've all the bases covered for your feathered friends, and they work really well, my feathered friends have taken to them perfectly well. Previously I just had a bird table whereas now they still have that but also have the selection availed with this multi feeder, the water dish is lovely and deep so this gives the birds plenty of space! The poles are nice and thick and very well made, they are super strong and very resistant, I have spiked mine straight into the ground and it has held perfectly well with no problems at all. I can't believe the excellent value of this bird feeder and feel it is brilliant as an all in one and has everything you need to get started with feeding the birds that will visit your garden. I would very highly recommend this feeder to anyone, I feel it is also fairly attractive so doesn't look cheap or tacky in your garden and for me it fits in great with my garden set up. Again I love this!!

I wanted a much larger feeding station and this is it. I would strongly suggest you also buy (as I did) with the set of ground spikes as it's quite tall and without them I don't imagine it would be especially stable without some other fixing method. There are a number of hooks for hanging feeders and cages, and the adjustable ones can be positioned wherever you like. I've had to buy the optional water dish/tray cover to stop the doves sitting on it and then trying to reach other dishes/feeders, but overall it's a good buy and should last for a long time. It certainly copes with having 2 doves at a time perched on the adjustable water dish holder.It is currently being sold with a load of free feeders in it. These are all very cheap and flimsy - don't be swayed by these as a reason to buy. They're the sort of thing you could get in a pound shop, but the feeding station itself and the water dish and mesh tray all seem well made and sturdy.The proof of the pudding is the increased number and variety of birds that I've been able to attract to the garden. I'm very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to feed a large number of birds or a wider variety of food. It is massive though - I have to hang some of the feeders on the top hooks with the aid of steps or a hooked stick!
