This good looking birdhouse has been made for years.  I bought my first one because of that fact.  It should last for years, but time will tell.  It takes a round support which is easier to find and cheaper than trying to find a triangle shaped pole.  The only problem is the construction of the house.  The buyer must put the house together with nuts and bolts.  If you are not handy with a screwdriver and pliers, don't buy this unit.  Buy the Heath plastic Martin House.  I now have one of each.
