"This feeder was actually cool,and for being plastic, for the most part,it really stood the test of time for durability.
The plastic is very strong,but I do have to say,that I've replaced it a few times since the Squirrels figured out that they could chew the plastic,to get to the seeds. lol
If you don't have a big budget,this is definitely worth the money invested to watch the birds eat.
(I now keep trays on the lower levels to help distract the Squirrels.)"
