BOLITE 18014 Bird Feeding Station for Outdoors, Bird Feeder Pole Stand for Outside, Improved Version

I have bought so many bird feeders over the year and wanted to try a feeder stand in hopes to keep the squirrels away. Now I know you have to buy the squirrel "blocker" separately but this set up seems to do the trick! Squirrels just wait at the bottom for the birds to drop seeds.. LOL! The quality was good and it was easy to assemble. The only thing negative I would say is that the base where you screw the pole into the bottom got slightly wobbly but I positioned the feeders to balance it out. The amount of birds I am getting is exciting, they are going crazy and love the little dish with water too. So far so good, lets see if she hold up! :)

I liked everything about this product. It's sturdy and the four prongs that go into the ground and keep it in place even with heavy wind and in Florida we get some real wind even in normal (non hurricane) conditions. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

The pole itself is very sturdy, and it's very attractive. But the prongs that secure it in the ground are flimsy. Less than 1 week in the ground, I found it laying on it's side with one of the prongs snapped off at the pole, making it useless. If this is the "improved version", I'd hate to see what it started out as! However, I contacted the seller, and they immediately shipped out a replacement. I'm hopeful, waiting to see if this one holds up better than the last.

I wish I could give zero stars. I assumed since there were so many hooks on this pole that I could hang multiple feeders. Sadly, as soon as the pole was assembled and placed in the ground it started leaning. A day later it was on the ground. I went so far as to dig a hole, added rocks around the base, filled the hole back up with dirt and as soon as the birds started coming the pole again looks like the leaning tower of Pisa. I do not have big birds on this. The problem appears to be the first section of pole where it attaches to the base. There is no threading so the base can just pop out and makes the pole decorative at best. I even bought a clamp to put around the base where it meets the first section of the pole and it had no effect. Look elsewhere if you want to hang multiple feeders from a single pole.

We purchased this product to put in our back yard and, overall, it's not bad.Pros: Very easy to assemble and it gives you options on how you want to stack the different levels. The material is sturdy and the thickness of the main pole is more than enough to maintain the weight of different feeders. The base was easy to get into the ground with a composite dead-blow hammer (don't use a standard metal hammer. You risk bending the legs and damaging the finish).Con: The only problem I have is the insert that goes in the bottom pole and used to screw to the base is pressed in, and not very well. When we completed assembly and put it on the base, it was pretty loose and wobbly. I thought it was the base initially, but upon inspection, it was clear that the base was solid, and the insert/pole joint was allowing the movement. A reasonably gentle pull on the pole, and it popped right off the insert. I used a gel glue product and put them back together. It worked for a bit, but after several doves tried to gain purchase on the feeders, it started wobbling again.So far it's still standing, so we're not going to try further. If that insert was securely pressed in, this would be a 5-star product.

This was as easy to assemble as anything I have done in the past. I really like the way it screws together and the pieces fit very snug, make sure to add your component hangers as you get about the to put the third piece together just makes it easier. at least for me. The unit is heavy duty and the hooks are very sturdy. I put the trays on but not sure I will get much use out of them but that's just me. Value is good. Since my ground is wet from all the recent rain it was a piece of cake to shove the prongs into the ground and as wet as the soil is the pole is hanging in there. I did make sure to balance the bird feeders across from each other for better stability. Seriously thinking about getting another unit. Buy with confidence.

I was not sure whether this bird feeding station would be worth the money, but I was very impressed at how easy it was to put together (no tools needed except for the rubber mallet to pound in the stakes), how sturdy it is and how nice it looks installed. It’s not too tall so I can easily refill it (and I’m only 5’ 2”). Would definitely recommend this to others to purchase. Now I need to find two more bird feeders to hang on this feeding station.

I use this pole on a concrete balcony. It is bound to an iron railing so it is quite sturdy. The variety of hooks and the two pans are very useful. I cannot think of a better pole for my situation. Or a better value. I have two feeder hanging from the pole. One of the pans catches what the birds scatter from the smaller feeder. The other is used for water - which the birds love. Highly recommended. Great value!

Complete waste of money and load of rubbish. I assembled this and put it outside 2 weeks ago. We have had 3 rainy days in a row and this is what had happened. Rust proof is what they say - I’m not so sure about that. I can see and feel where the screws are being eaten away. (I don’t live near the beach either)
