Stanwood Wind SculptureKinetic Copper Dual Spinner - Tumbling Flowers

The media could not be loaded.  I REALLY wanted to love this spinner. Each piece was individually wrapped in bubble wrap for shipping. The instructions came in color on glossy paper, and they were very clear. When the wind was blowing, the spinner was absolutely mesmerizing. Five stars for packaging and beauty.BUTThe screws holding the arms in place work loose as the spinner spins. At the bottom of the directions in somewhat small print, the instructions recommend using Loctite on the screws in windy areas. Seriously? It's a wind spinner. What would be the point of putting it in an area that is NOT windy? At least, put the warning somewhere more obvious. Better yet, include a small bottle of Loctite and charge for it.Two spare screws were included, which I thought was nice. After the spinner was up a couple of days, I noticed two of the arms had come loose. Thinking I had failed to put those screws in, I used the spare screws and tightened them all again. A couple of days later, another screw had worked loose. That's when I noticed the Loctite recommendation.I contacted Amazon and the nice person helping me could neither give me replacement screws nor tell me what size they were. No problem, I have hardware stores nearby. I took one of the original screws with me to two different hardware stores and tested the size. It tested as a size 8 x 3/4 with a Phillips button head. (Yes, I looked at metric screws too.) Neither store had the exact screw, so I picked up a full set of 8 x 3/4 slotted screws. To my eye the replacements looked a bit larger in diameter, but they both screwed in to the same test hole, so I figured it was my imagination. Also, the original screws are a couple of threads shorter than the replacement. I didn't see that as a problem since the originals stopped a couple of threads shy of being flush with the mount.Surprise, the replacements don't fit. I cannot get the screws to go all the way through. The hole apparently has an "hour glass" shape. I can get the screw in part way from either side of the hole, but it stops somewhere half way and won't go completely through.So, I don't have enough of the original screws to complete the assembly. I can't get more of the originals, and I can't find replacement screws that work. It breaks my heart, but I have returned it.

The media could not be loaded.  This is our second Standwood kenitic wind sculpture and we absolutely love it. It’s easy to assemble however the flower arms can be installed backwards and if this happens the screw will not go completely in. We use lock tight on the screws because of the amount of wind we get.

I love this, it’s worth every penny! Sturdy and incredible craftsmanship. I have this in my bee garden, tumbling flowers is perfect there. I did decide to “age” the copper and brass, it turned out great and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

We bought this for our mom’s 80th Birthday. She loves it. Only had it a couple weeks, but no complaints so far. Wish I had waited a few weeks to order it as the price dropped $50 in November.

Really nice, however, it’s made in China and if I had known that, I wouldn’t have purchased. I just rescued a dog from the slaughterhouse in China. I don’t buy from China.

Beautiful. This is quality!

The media could not be loaded.  This cooper wind spinner is absolutely magnificent! Craftsmanship that you seldomly find in products anymore especially at the incredible price they are offered on Amazon! This yard sculpture is truly a work of art that will age with beauty and last a lifetime! I’m buying several more to give as gifts to my best friends and for me to enjoy!They are worth 5x’s more than what you pay for them and with their life time warranty you need to look no further! I unequivocally and unconditionally recommend Stanwood masterpieces, works of art!

This is my 4th Stanwood Wind Sculpture; all different in style. The Stanwood Wind Sculptures are very well built and very attractive, particularly when the wind is blowing. They cost more than less expensive windmills made of tin with poor rotation mechanisms. The copper material used for the post and wind mills is thick and durable, plus attractive, glittering in the sunlight. Highly recommended.
