Esschert Design FB422 Ceramic Blue Bird Pedestal Bath - Perfect for Garden Decor & Bird Bathing

Beautiful bird bath. But arrived broken twice! Packaging was horribleI was a little leery about ordering this item after reading all the reviews how it had arrived broken but I noticed that the most recent review was very positive as it had arrived fully intact so I decided to take a chance. When the box arrived I opened it very carefully so I could easily package it back up if the item was broken. Thankfully it was very well packaged and unscathed even though the box was not marked ‘fragile’. It is a beautiful cobalt blue, sturdy, very well made and went together in a pinch. I’m so glad I took a chance. The only downside, for me, is now that I have it the price has dropped by $15 but if you’re reading this please take advantage of the savings.I couldn’t use it because it came badly broken. The birdbath did not come in it’s original shipping box, but instead 2 pieces were bubble wrapped and put in a large loose box with a little paper thrown in for good measure. Needless to say it was like a bowling ball in a box. And it was listed as blue, with some video as a bright blue, but instead was a dark teal. Not happy!Good looking addition. The ceramic bird built in gets in the way of placing a fountain.Many of the reviews from a year ago reported damages during shipping. This worried us, but more recent reviews report no damage. We were very relieved to hear our GIFT ARRIVED in PERFECT CONDITION! Recipient loves the color and the "Latch-and-Key" that securely attaches the bowl to the pedestal. Advised a few pebbles in the bottom may attract more birds.Stunning piece! Packing provided incredible shipping protection, was an easy assembly job, and looks amazing in our front yard. The perfect cobalt blue, coordinates with all our glazed pots like they were manufactured by the same company. We are so happy with this purchase!Love the bird bath. It is exactly what we were looking for. Packaging was tremendous. Could not have gone any better.Item is lovely, but it arrived broken. I felt the packaging was insufficient. Both the top and bottom part were wrapped in a single layer of thin bubble wrap, and the box had no mention of the contents being fragile. Its a shame as the bird bath is very niceIt arrived safely which is good but the quality of the bird bath isn't great. The bowl is very wonky and looks like it was made by primary school children and because of that it just looks odd. Disappointing purchase but too much of a faf to send back.Smashed to bits on arrivalReally disappointed that I bought this bird bath for my dad for fathers day and when he opened it up it was smashed into pieces. The stand was un damaged but the bath itself was completely demolished.just what I wanted, also ceramic makes it very easy to clean, birds love it too!
