> 3 dayMy husband has gotten this set up, finally. Seemed like forever to me. I really like it. I ordered two different ones. These remind me of the wind sculptures in the movie Twister. The slightest breeze gets it moving. They are so well made. Others I have tried over the years have fallen apart or fallen over, never to be used again. I will be ordering more from this place next summer.

Greater than one weekAfter looking at many different wind sculptures, I was disillusioned by the shoddy construction and off-balance blades that I kept seeing. Once I saw this kinetic sculpture, I was intrigued by the description that the windmill spun AND rotated, so I gave it a shot. I am amazed at how finely balanced the blades are, and how easily the blade assembly rotates. It takes almost no wind at all to get and keep the windmill assembly spinning and rotating. I would highly recommend this kinetic sculpture for anyone who is looking for a garden sculpture.

> 3 dayMuch better than the cheap wind sculptures, very solidly constructed and has held up in 50+mph. My wife liked it so much we purchase another. One suggestion, use thread lock on the threaded part that holds on the vanes. In heavy winds it is possible for the vanes to unscrew this part. Highly recommended

> 3 dayWonderful and very well built. We put it together from the box pretty easy took 10 minutes, It started spinning right away with no real wind to speak of. I was amazed how pretty it is and many people have told me they like it a lot. I would buy another one from Stanwood as the quality is top notch. Have a H&P one and it is junk. Like a Ferrari to a Yugo. Love this!

> 3 dayI cannot say enough about how great these wind spinners are. This company uses quality materials that hold up, even in coastal salty environments. I own three of these and the oldest one I have is about 6 years old. It still spins like it did on the day I bought it. I am close to the pacific ocean and the salt-air basically dissolves most metals within a few months. These are truly made from copper which survives this salty environment. I know that they are more expensive than others on Amazon, but they are definitely worth the money.

> 3 dayThere are most costly wind sculptures ($1000 and up) elsewhere, but Stanwood wind sculptures have the perfect quality at a more than reasonable price for lifetime outdoor art and this design spins so well (in opposite directions) and is amazingly beautiful. . i bought several cheap wind spinners (ones under $150) and was always disappointed. The cheap ones dont spin except in 30+ mph winds and even then they dont spin fast because there is too much friction or because they are unbalanced. They cheap kind wont last long either. I got fed up and bought this majestic spinner. The spinner has steel ball bearings hidden inside which is the key in reducing friction to insure easy movement. What I received was so well engineered and so superior in its materials and workmanship I realized it was not only worth every penny but it was in fact a bargain. The thickness of the pole mean no bending at the joints or shimmying like cheap spinners tend to do. The top of the sculpture is also strong, thick and sturdy metal that is perfectly balanced. It shines beautifully and I choose to spray it with Rust-Oleum Gloss Clear Enamel to keep it shiny all year long. I was rewarded right away with a little breeze and a spinning sculpture. It is definitely sculpture because its design is so well executed that it belongs in a museum as a fine example of kinetic art. I hate the cheap ones I bought previously and I love this Stanwood wind sculpture so much I bought two others by Stanwood which have made me very happy with their quality, amazing designs and ease of movement even when the wind is low. When we get a real windy day I look out a window and am fascinated by their beauty.

> 3 dayEasy to assemble. Very sturdy when inserted into the ground. Spinner easily rotates on top of the pole to catch the wind from any direction. Will rotate and spin with the slightest breeze. Looking forward to seeing how the patina develops with age. A bit too brassy in color for my taste, but I still like how it performs.
