Purchased two of these feeders.  Holds alot of seeds. The reason I purchased it was because it is plastic and it looks nice.  We live in PA and we get some bad winter weather and gusty winds and did not want to buy a wood one that would eventually rot from the elements.  The only draw back is that there are holes in the plastic where the three perches go for the birds to stand on, they were too small and my husband had to drill larger holes, which was not a big deal at all.
