Review on Toysmith Bird Bungalow Kit: Build and Attract Feathered Friends by Cory Mosley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

But a better bird house is not!

I'm having some trouble with the directions. Why insert the hook after assembling the front panel only to crush and break the hook trying to hammer the back panel? Bad guide. Also when "screwing in" the hook - it doesn't screw in, it just slides in with no support, allowing the chain to hang, so now I'm not sure how we can even hang this. Also, the holes didn't all line up and this caused us to split the wood a bit because we were using the hole, but it split the other part. Also, the roof was only attached with their glue - not even wood glue? How is it supposed to hold up? It's not like this! I would return it but can't as we've already tried to build this bad bird house idea. Buy a better quality birdhouse as it will just end up in your trash.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • some trouble
