If you are looking to replace a "real" Gary Schrodt floral decal feeder, do NOT buy this one. It will break your heart -- a cheap knock-off of the elegant product that once was and, alas, is no more. I still have my old one for comparison, so this is not just nostalgia talking. The decal lacks the metallic gold highlights and subtle coloration, but it is the wooden top and base that are really disgusting -- instead of artisan-quality woodworking, in redwood (mill ends!), this ugly thing is big and block-y with a hideous orange-red stain on some cheap, big-grained hunk of whatever. The metal base piece is smaller, and not the same lovely little shape as before. It's like replacing a Dolce & Gabbana blouse with something from Wal-Mart. Broke my heart.
Hummingbirds do like the design, however. So it gets one extra star.
