This item fulfills my need and incorporating a bucket feeder for my three hens. Where I had rigged a pulley type mechanism to hold my bucket by the handle from the top of their feeding area, I was limited to how much I was able to fill the bucket; when full it was straining the build out for the feeding area. After purchasing the table, I am now able to fill the bucket, enabling me to better manage feed costs. The 4-stars rating is due to the skinny table feet, which sink in the sandy soil during rainy season or wet weather. Other than that. I would rate it 5-stars. My hens behave better during feeding with the new set up.
