It is brand new. It is a heavy duty bird feeder that has a powder coated finish with glossy black color. The dome on top wobbles and tilts making it hard for the squirrels to keep their balance. If they reach the base, it will also tilt because of the squirrels weight which will also close the ports. The dome and feeding base is made from metal. The feeding ports can serve 4 birds at the same time. It has the capacity to hold 3 lbs. of seed. The convenient metal perches will give comfort to the birds feeding. You can just relax while watching your birds feed instead of worrying about those squirrels.
