Cherry Valley Coach Lamp Bird Feeder Model 6200

I bought this for an odd reason. I have almost no space in our sitting room for a Christmas tree. I put feeder in a heavy pot, wrapped the pole with greenery garland and added lights to the greenery. I also put a string of lights in the feeder. I added Christmas balls to the greenery and put a bow on top of the feeder and had a faux Christmas tree that took up very little space. I can't speak to its durability as an outside bird feeder but it seems well made.

I've read many reviews which stated the hanging wire came loose, the feeder crashed to the ground and the unit broke. People, you must open the feeder to fill it with seed. The wire is in PLAIN SIGHT and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know at a glance that the wire MUST be secured by the owner before it will do what it is designed to do. I've had mine since late yesterday afternoon, filled it with 10 pounds of seed, hung it last night and the birds are flocking to it this morning. If It is installed correctly, it will perform as advertised. My wife and I are extremely pleased with our purchase. Look forward to many, many hours of enjoying the birds, our feeder and the fact that it holds enough seeds to last about a week before refilling is necessary!Remember, it must be installed correctly as most everything you use must be!

The Cherry Valley Coach Lamp Bird Feeder looks nice in the picture but in person its not as nice, and it has a really, really bad design in my opinion. The one I received was actually broken (the plastic top part of the hopper was broken, while this did not really affect the integrity or functionality of the feeder, it just proves its not very durable plastic and not likely to withstand our seasonal extremes of hot and cold here in NJ).The Cherry Valley Coach Lamp Bird Feeder ships in multiple pieces. You have to assemble the hopper/ feeder with a long rod that screws the top and the bottom of the hopper to the feeder to keep it in place (I already trashed the feeder, so I do not know the length of the rod but I want to say it is about 10-12 inches long). I ordered a preowned one and the screw did not fit end to end, well, it did but it made the part that you twist open to put the seed in a little too snug, actually it was so snug that I could barely twist it to open it and fill it.The stake attaches to the feeder once you are done with assembling the feeder itself. Overall it is about 6 feet in length, and the stake is not one solid stake like a Shepard hook is, its actually 4 hollow metal sections. You have to use a rubber mallet to connect each section from end to end and then place the feeder on the top of the stake. You have to sink it down into the ground at least 8" according to the instructions so the feeder stands a little over 5 feet above ground. The stake is single pronged and not double pronged for those who are wondering.Overall it is a nice looking feeder and looks like it would hold A LOT of seed. I am glad I purchased a preowned one, although its been thrown away since Amazon was nice enough to issue a refund for the damaged feeder, after seeing what it looks like, and learning its assembly, I can't say I wish to reorder this particular feeder. Definitely not worth $30+ in my opinion. Considering it is cheap plastic that broke in transit, I dont think this feeder would last very long due to its clear lack of durability. Plus we get a lot of squirrels who love to invade feeders, I doubt this feeder would survive their daily invasions!

I am not a fan of how you have to refill this bird feeder, through a small opening at the top (the circle piece at the top) "opens" when you turn it and there is a LITTLE spot you refill it in. I use a big jug to refill my feeders as they are all large and hold a lot of seed INCLUDING this one and it is a PAIN to refill as I take the entire top off to refill. Just very annoying. Works great though just a pain to refill.

Love this bird feeder. I was worried that at this price point, it would be flimsy. It's not. It's very durable and easy to put together. The only thing I was dissapointed in is that squirrels can still climb up the pole. I had hoped it would be slippery enough that they couldn't.. they must have those NFL sticky gloves. I do like that the ledge around the feeder allows some larger birds to sit there. On our hanging feeders, the larger birds end up eating from the spillage on the ground. All in all, great produce. I'm thinking of getting second one.

We ordered this feeder for our daughter for Christmas last year and when they opened it, it was missing not only the mounting pole but the center rod that holds it together. Attempts to get the replacement parts were unsuccessful and because it wasn't an expensive feeder, I let it slide. We then ordered another feeder thinking my wife and I would keep the first one and I would fix it myself. When the second one arrived at my daughter's house, the pole and center rod were in the box but the main part that holds the seeds was broken and completely unusable. I will be trying to contact the seller by phone because the website is not really setup and most links don't work. I'm very sorry I bought this feeder and won't make the mistake again.

I like that this doesn’t have to hang like the bird feeders I’ve had before, I also like that it’s tall. I used the original stand first and then decided to paint a metal pipe we had black and use it to be sturdier in the wind. Resupplying seed is easy and the birds like it.🦜

I love the way the feeder looks. Feeder itself is plastic, but has held up well under constant squirrel bombardment, and it was very easy to put together. Only complaint I have is that the top of the pole got deformed when I was pounding it in to the ground, which made it difficult to attach the feeder. But it would probably have been OK if I had used a rubber mallet. You'll want to get a squirrel baffle, as the buggers can get right up the pole and eat you out of house and home. We are getting a new feeder because the squirrels can just jump to it from the fence, but if you have space to put it away from their launch points, and if you get a squirrel baffle, this is a great (and cute) feeder for the money.
