I like the design very much, the quality of material and construction. The packaging was somewhat flimsy as the cardboard wrapper was partially open when received. I feared there may have been parts missing but it was fine. The weather vane is just a bit too short for my taste; it could have been a foot to 1 1/2 feet taller although I did note the measurements when ordering. It is too short and part of the length goes below ground to anchor it into the soil so height is lost here as well. It should be re-tooled to be longer.
