Kingfisher BB01 Ornamental Bird Bath and Table

I was a bit wary after reading the bad reviews, but I love this table. Yes, the instructions are rubbish, but all you need is a bit of common sense in putting it together, took about 45 mins. Make sure you put the rubber washer inside the bath so it doesn't leak (ours doesn't leak). Didn't bother with the bird because we thought it might scare our feathered friends, so we just put the twig looking thing on so they have somewhere to perch. We had 1 small screw left over, as other reviews have said too. It isn't as tall as ordinary wooden bird tables but it looks fine as we've placed it amongst some small acer trees and pegged it down into the soil, so hopefully it won't blow over in this sheltered spot, and we also put some nice white ornamental stones in the bird bath which not only looks nice but will also help with weighting it down. All in all I think this item was a bargain. My advice would be to read the instructions then throw them away and just get on with it yourself without them!

A bit fiddly putting together once sorted fine

Since that one time we had a little bird die in our flower beds, I can't help but try help them out with feed & water.This product? Simple. Pretty. Functional. People who say they spent hours putting it together must be joking - the instructions are really easy (see photo attached) - there's just one detail missing in the paper - instructions for the bolts and screws, I suppose Kingfisher assume we've all got common sense when it comes to this.Reason for giving it 4 stars and not 5 - the base could be that bit heavier. I don't mind about the rest being plastic-y, it still looks good and works perfectly for garden birds.It does -not- leak if put together well, again, I saw negative comments stating this but one could only guess the tower was put together wrong.As you can see in the leaflet, most of the body screws together without any additional screws or bolts. The only "tricky" part would be where the leg connects with the bath bowl - this is where it will leak if you'll use the provided bits incorrectly. Leg + bath bowl + metal plate + rubber plate + next leg post. You're done!I'm glad I bought this over other overpriced garden feeders.

First off you will need tools as there are screws and bolts to use but no instructions on where these go but easy enough to work out once you know which bit goes where. It's not as easy as some people are making out to assemble especially if like me you are disabled and have difficulty using hands so the assembly rating it comes with should be ignored. Also the bath part leaks, I thought I had done something wrong but after looking into it I saw that it seems to be a common problem. That being said it does look nice!

This looks lovely in my garden and the birds love it. Can eat in the dry and can bath in a big bowl. I did find the instructions not easy as I was faced with the rubber seal and nut and didn't know where to place them. I had to take it to pieces as the water leaked out of the bowl. I realised that I had to put the rubber seal in the top which seems to now hold the water. I am left with a washer and can't find a place for it. But apart from that I love it. Delivery and packaging was excellent.

It may look nice on box but oh dear it’s cheap plastic and awkward to assemble due to poor fittings and it’s just tacky. The bird doesn’t stand up on the branch feature and so it’s being sent back

This was tricky to put together because the instructions are not very clear at all, with multiple screws that could fit in different places you really need to use common sense otherwise it will fall apart.Once you put the Bird bath together and place it in the garden you won't have to do much, found the rain water seems to fill the bath up, so you only need to place what ever bird feed you want to use on top, the green plastic bird that goes in the middle top can be removed so birds can go inside or you can add more food.It's a really great gift for people who like watching birds, the stand can be quiet solid if you put the 3 pegs in right at the bottom, stops wind blowing it over, also I've had big fat pigeons on the table and see lots of little birds like Robins and Sparrows.

Easy to assemble and clean. Need to secure it a bit in your preferred spot as it can lean with the wind. Birds love it.
