wood is cheap, the shaft for the blade assembly is mounted to wood at the top of the windmill and is not reinforced with any additional material so the weight of the blades cracks the wood and allows water intrusion and the wood rot sets in, nothing but junk, pretty for a year or so.
Bought my windmill preassembled at Marvins Supply Store. So far I have enjoyed it but the fan part is not rotating properly. We have had a lot of rain so I don't know if the wood has swollen and won't allow rotation or what. I'm going to get my ladder and see if I need to bore out the socket .
missing an entire leg, shipped with two left legs and no right one, also two of the prices were drilled incorrectly and did not fit at all. Material is cheap. very disappointed, will never be able to buying from them again
