Teal Lily Lamp Lacks the Usual "Designs in Copper" Quality
I've purchased several "Designs in Copper" items, both for myself and for gifts, and have been very satisfied with the quality. But, the Lily Lamp was not what I expected. The base is very nice and has a great patina and rustic charm. But, the lamp ball is tacky as tacky can be. It is not a gorgeous irridescent ball, as in the picture, but rather a plain, uninteresting teal glass ball. And, while I did keep this item, I've never used it and every time I see it I am reminded of my disappointment.

Looks cool...
Hey it's nice, matches my copper fountain. It's well constructed, looks like a hand-made art object. It will never see oil or flame - it's as ornament for my girlfriends pond. ... Read more

Disappointed in Denver
I was rather disappointed with the bird feeder. It was not as heavy as I expected...edges were sharp and jagged...over all the quality was "marginal."

Beautiful
I love this thing! It looks so great swinging from my apple tree & the birds love it too I highly recommend it, especially for the price ... Read more

Very pleasing to the eye...
This bird feeder is just as colorful as the picture depicts. I absolutely love it and the sun plays wonderful colors off of this feeder. It makes a great addition to any yard. The birds will love you for the seed and you will love the feeder.

Cool looking
I bought this because it was on sale and I thought it looked kinda cool. I hung it in a tree in my front yard (near the front door) and I keep it filled with water (since it said it could be used as a bird bath). I've never actually seen a bird bathing in it though. I rated this item 4 stars because it really does look "spiffy" hanging in my tree. Very distinctive. Visitors always comment on it. I'm pretty sure if I fill it with seed - the birds will like it just as much as I do. ... Read more

Sundrop Garden Stake
I have other copper garden stakes and this one is a great addition to my collection. The spheres were beautiful colors of red and blue. One suggestion would be to have the piece with the globes screw to the stake rather than just sliding on. It would make it more secure. Other than than I love the piece.

Student Work
With a desert landscape, I wanted to add some beauty with this stake.

Unfortunately, when it arrived today, my disappointment was expressed as UGH!

It does not look like the picture (this is ok) but the quality and workmanship is substandard. If I had ordered this item from a copper tooling school where students were learning how to work with copper, then it would have been an acceptable quality.

Since, I have ordered other items from Amazon.com which have been of superb quality, I will continue to shop here! ... Read more

You'll feel like Escher when you gaze into this dramatic reflective sphere, a modern take on traditional Victorian gazing globes. Handcrafted from recycled copper, the piece is truly stunning, with a thick mirrored glass sphere resting atop a petaled securing base and a large copper hanging hoop. The solid glass accent spheres are secured with tendrils of copper, and the silver reflective sphere is artfully wrapped in a graceful twine of copper for stability. Add some color and depth to your garden--and get a whole new view of your surroundings. ... Read more

Do they make a bigger one?
I only recently became aware of how many funny and entertaining garden enchancements you can buy from a number of makers like Astonica, Woodstock, SunSpots, and others-- such as pink lawn flamingos. This dragonfly is bigger than the Astonica ones that are intended more for planters and is suitable for a standalone accent in the garden. It makes a good conversation starter, and you can tell your guest interesting trivia about them, such as that during the Coal Age or Carboniferous period 300 million years ago, they had dragonflies with 3-foot wingspans! That's hard to imagine, but they've theorized the air was thicker back then. Certainly these days with all the pompous political pundits and blowhards on the news pandering to the lowest common denominator the air is thicker in our time. Dragonflies have such a high rate of metabolism from their energetic flying that they can basically eat and sh_t continuously. Despite their amazing flying abilities, they're considered primitive insects since they have incomplete metamorphosis. Next time you see a dragonfly flying around a pond, notice how they often "patrol" the area by flying up and back along the edge of the pond rather than directly over the water. I haven't figured out what this is for yet, but it's interesting. Well, by now your guest is thoroughly bored with your science nerd comments and probably wants to take a hammer to your silly copper dragonfly on a stick. Anyway, this dragonfly is the closest thing to one of the big prehistoric ones, so for a little taste of Jurassic Park for your garden, this dragonfly will fill the bill.

Dragonfly stake
This item is BIG, and very pretty. I left it out all winter, and it made it through very well, with no rust. Would definitely buy again!

Couldn't be better!
I bought one of these last year and am now buying more. They develop a beautiful patina, and have a great impact in the garden. The color and finish makes the piece interesting in the garden without "stealing the show."

Great for the price
The ornament looks exactly as pictured, was easy to install (just stake it in the garden!) and survived a nasty New England winter perfectly intact. My kids adore it--and you can't beat the price.

Not Worth It Unless You Need Cheap Copper Pieces
I received this product as a bonus for buying the Lg Woodstock P. Garden Bells. I like it more than the Garden Bells but it is still a really crude lawn ornament. The product design is crude. The actual dragonfly in the picture looks far more detailed and polished than the product I received. The copper is decent and if your garden features copper this might be a nice addition. ...
