I was pleased with this birdhouse until after the first rain when I went to check on it. The gingerbread details on this birdhouse are made out of CARDBOARD and started to crumble when I touched them.

I had read the other review about poor wood quality, and did not expect great things for $11- but cardboard? seriously?

This should be listed as a decoration only! not for outdoor use!!

The price was right but the construction uses rather flimsy material. I actually wanted working birdhouses and these didn’t look like they would last a whole season outside. My wife coated them with marine varnish and they became somewhat more sturdy but I think these are better as decorations than birdhouses.

The birdhouse is very cute, but the quality isn’t very good. I have it out in my backyard and don’t expect it to last too long out in the elements. The price was very reasonable.

I thought this bird house was very lovely, though it’s pretty small for all the details. I gave it as a gift to my mother-in-law, but my father-in-law painted it! She thought it was too white. Either way, it’s very cute.

Lovely item that is easy to assemble and lightweight. Clean look and chadelier style lend grace to any atmosphere.

The stool looked beautiful after we put it together. However, not much later my parents-in-law came to visit. My mother-in-law sat in the stool to put on some makeup in my vanity, and it broke! She is only about 110 pounds! Thankfully she didn’t get hurt. We tried fixing it but the other legs broke twice in subsequent times. Threw it out and had to buy another stool. Don’t buy it, badly made.

This was a purchase for my 5yr old grand daughter. Now she only weighs 41 lbs. It broke on her the second time she sat on it. Unless your husband does repairs do not bother to buy this. If the chair should happen to break again there is no fixing. Save your money and get something that cost a little more. You will be further ahead in the long while.

I too, read the reviews of this product albeit not from this seller and still decided to purchase it through Amazon. Here is a helpful hint: when purchasing furniture of this quality (lower end) it pays to take a little extra time and care with assembly. While the bolts that secure the legs look adequate – I augmented the assembly with gorilla glue. To date I have been using this stool for three weeks with absolutely no sign of trouble, it is extremely functinal, the perfect height, and blends in very nicely with its neutral colors. I think its a great value!
