BYER OF MAINE Circles Post Bird Bath, Outdoor Garden and Patio Decor, Porcelain, Glaze Finish, Steel Mounting Post, Outside Bird Pond Fountain, 14"x14"x30", Cobalt Blue

Initially I was really excited about this bird bath, but unfortunately it’s just terrible.Note: I typically give 4 and 5 star Amazon reviews, I am quite forgiving of small defects I regularly encounter.The ceramic bowl is quite nice, where this product fails is the stand... the birds will not stay on the bath and bathe because of rocking due to the poorly constructed stand.I asked Byer Of Maine for a replacement stand shorty after receiving the product initially as it swayed under the weight of the bowl, the threads did not fully engage.I received my replacement stand today and while it negligibly screws together tighter it is still loose... and furthermore the weld on this replacement stand is so weak that it bent at the base as I buried it into the ground!There are so many bird baths listed on Amazon, save yourself the wait and headache and look elsewhere.

I was worried about the stand being flimsy and unsupportive but this stand holds the ceramic bowl beautifully.It was easy to put together and in about 2 minutes, I had my bird bath assembled, spikes in the ground and filled with water. I added an old solar fountain to it with some rocks and it is the perfect addition to my little urban garden.I picked the brownish color because I wanted it to blend in with my fence and adding the rocks makes it look like it was meant to be and let's the flowers remain the star feature.I also like that once disassembled it is compact enough to move with me and I can move it by myself.

I really like this birdbath. I really like the simple, understated look and it appears to be well made. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars, is that the way that it attaches to the base makes it inconvenient to clean. The basin screws into the stake. I think it would be better if it were designed in such a way that the basin rested on either a platform or if it had metal arms coming out from the basin. Trying to screw it back on without also removing the stake from the ground is a hassle. (Because it's hard to see what you're doing...)I have been thinking about buying another one, but the design keeps giving me second thoughts.

I love the bowl... and I like the look of the stand. Very simple and blends well in garden area. The problem is once the bowl has water in it the stands sways and tilts. I have tried it in several areas and even with the stand prongs inserted into the ground all the way it still tilts and sways. I tried the bowl in a wrought iron plant stand and it fits perfectly, no tilting, no swaying....it is lower to the ground than the original stand but the birds don't seem to care. Bowl great... stand not so much.

I like the minimalist look. I haven't seen any "bathing" going on but the birds drink out of it all the time. It came with the post and a chain harness to hang it up with. I stuck some twigs in chain holes to give the Titmouse and Chickadees something to light on. Blue Jays to Wrens come in for to drink. Even the squirrels will get up in it and lay on the edge while they drink. The glazed part of the bowel makes it really easy to clean and it hasn't gotten any algae growth so far. The brown color absorbs a lot of heat and makes the water about like a warm bath. I may buy a blue one for summer and put the brown one out in the winter to maybe prevent it from freezing. It's also easy to just pull up and move when I mow. The 3 prongs on the post makes it pretty easy to level.

The pole is kinda flimsy, it doesn't screw together totally straight. I put some large rocks around the base to stabilize it. Overall I still like it, the color looks great and it holds water and a small solar fountain no problem. (If you want to add a spraying solar fountain, you need a bigger bird bath unless you want to refill it a lot) I use the fountain with no nozzle and the water stays in.

The bowl of this product had five chips towards the center of it as if it had been stacked with others and the surface was chipped off. Then someone did a really crappy touchup paint job with the paint didn’t match anywhere near it original color. If I hadn’t waited so long to open I would’ve sent it back but it was too late. But if that’s how your quality team functions, I won’t re-order from your company.

Our old birdbath sprung a leak after many years. We like the look of this birdbath. It is simple yet has a nice bowl that comes in different colors. It arrived on time and was well packaged. Our heater works well in this bath and more importantly, the bird are once again happy.
