Everything arrived exactly as pictured - assembling the base with the main body was easy, and the product feels like sturdy, thick plastic or PVC. It mounted easily to the coop wall - screws were included. My only concern was that some of the grit and oyster shell might leak out the back where it hangs on the screw, but if so it's an insignificant amount. The other thing I would suggest is to add a flat piece on the back of the bottom part of the feeder to sit against the wall and stabilize it from swiveling back and forth on the screw. It doesn't appear to be a big issue, but if you put the screw in too tight into the wall you can't get the cap on and off the top easily for refilling - this means it sits a bit loose and rotates a bit on the screw. It doesn't seem to be a problem - my hens have pecked at it and flicked gravel and oyster shell around with their beaks and it hasn't fallen off the wall or spilled anything. It's just a detail I noticed. Overall I think it's a good design, the graphic on the front with the chicken sitting on the G for Grit and the O for Oyster is super cute. Mine are inside the coop, but the holes in the dish portion the girls eat from is a good idea to drain out any water if they were to be mounted outside where rain or snow might get in.

I bought two of these and am happy with my purchase! They seem durable and hold quite a bit of oyster shells.
