VINGLI Upgrade 8FT Ornamental Windmill Backyard Garden Decoration Weather Vane, Heavy Duty Metal Wind Mill w/ 4 Legs Design, Grey

It takes a few hours to assemble. Mostly because of the amount of nuts and bolts used to construct it. Very sturdy and durable to strong gusts of wind. I recommend it if you're looking for a rustic yard decoration. We'll worth the money.

Works great, looks great and good price

VERY TIME CONSUMING AND DIFFICULT TO PUT TOGETHER. It’s getting 4 stars because it’s nice when it’s done. But seriously, even if they put a colored sticker on parts at factory IE Orange dot is for lower base legs etc. anything. I bet the person who designed this would have trouble putting it together! Maybe we should mark the date it was put together on a calendar and have a day of remembrance, because it is that much of a trial.

Such a great quality for the price. Arrived super-fast and it was easy to assemble. The instructions say about 60 minutes for two people and that's about how long it took. It made my project look so much nicer adding this piece.

First off you need to be a rocket scientist to put this thing together, I consider myself an excellent assembler, this thing took me over four hours, half the time scratching my head, do yourself a favor and just throw away the directions as they are useless. Had to go on you tube to see some assembly ideas, as the mfg. website was absolutely useless. Ok now on to the structure, the fan blade section & bearings are of a decent quality, but the legs & braces are very flimsy, as far as the hardware goes instead of the regular nuts they should give you locking nuts as I anticipate all the nuts & bolts to loosen over time as the structure twists & tweeks. Looks good all set up, functions well, we will have to see how long it lasts. What do you expect for $59 dollars.

The media could not be loaded. Well after opening the package and looking over all the parts, my first thought was yes the fan and tail themselves are built fairly solid, but as for the rest of the framework...I thought to be very flimsy. But I said to myself for $59, guess it isn't too bad. So, I started assembling it together.... the instructions that came with it are almost useless except for some dark pictures that give you an idea of what goes together and if it weren't for the measurements on the parts list, some parts wouldn't be identified. Illustrations show to install washers here... you can't see anything as the picture is so dark. So, anyway, give yourself a good hour and half to figure it all out and once assembled I was surprised at how solid the framework was! I used the anchors provided and drove them in the ground at angles towards the center of frame so that any high winds would not pull this over easily, but if you have winds in excess of 20mph, I'd suggest heavier and longer stakes, especially in soft top soil. So this thing is really quiet and smooth. I added sewing machine oil to the bearings on the fan. Overall this is really a very nice product for the price! Don't be fooled by all the flimsy pieces, once assembled it's a solid frame. I will recommend this to my friends and family. I'm 65+ years old and a little common sense goes a long way in assembly on this. Update: had it a few days and no issues, today winds were 45mph with gusts up to 60mph and this windmill is still sitting solid on the ground and wow it's SPINNING SO FAST!!! Great windmill!

While I do like the end result and the decoration I purchased it has a few flaws. Well let's just call it two.1. The instructions are terrible. Attach unmarked part to another unmarked part X4 then attach unmarked part to them. The description of each part is vague as well. Making putting this together a bit of a guessing game.2. Inexperience, I have never built one of these before. Therefore the instructions need to be very clear to make sure mistakes are not made during assembly.Other than those issues it seems to be very well put together for the price. It looks very nice and seems to turn quite easily even in a small breeze. Now I just need to figure out how to mount it properly somewhere. My yard sucks every where I tried to dig to level it were so Rocky I couldn't dig. That is t the fault of the windmill, just bad luck on my part.

I liked the coating (gray enamel - not galvanized). Easy to assemble with common tools. However, the pictures for assembly were obviously pictures - not diagrams. They did not show features clearly ... everything was uniformly dark and blurry. Thus, there was no way to tell if it was recommended to put the braces on the inside or outside of the legs. (I opted for inside). Too, I had to pack the fan bearings with grease. Initially, they were very stiff so the bearings were turning on the axle shaft, not spinning as they should. I was pleased with the timeliness of delivery and the care with which the product was packed.
