Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I purchased these items for my butterfly garden. The bottoms fell out after a rainstorm, making these butterfly houses useless as anything other than a decoration.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
It looks nice but had I looked at it closer I would have noticed the
poor construction, the materials are very bad, fiberboard base with
metal bottom. Right there weigh is an issue.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
This is an attractive, sturdy butterfly house. Has a door in the back to add tree bark and for easy cleaning. No butterflys yet though it's early spring
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Went to clean out for this season and the bottom had fallen out. Not durable beyond one season. Very disappointed (so are the butterflies). Would not buy again.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
It was cute, but didn't last beyond a season. The bottom fell out of it.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Buy here. ou will be happy!
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I was so excited to place this near my butterfly bush. But it lasted less than a year, when the bottom fell off. Generally I am very happy with Gardener's Supply's items, but not his one.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
My only complaint on this product, which I really do like, is that the manufacturer of it should use waterproof glue. After a few rainy days, the bottom of the shelter falls off.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
This butterfly shelter is well-made and looks easy to clean. Can't wait for spring to come so I can put it outside and watch the butterflies flock to it!
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I purchased the butterfly house for myself, then purchased another as a Christmas gift. They love it just as I do!!
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I bought this for my mother, and she loved it. Although it's the wrong season yet for butterflies, she put it out in the garden because she liked the look. I does brighten things up in the grey days of winter. I expect it will be worth the price even if the butterflies don't like it, but we are both hoping that the butterflies do find it useful in the spring and summer! We did not notice any of the problems other reviewers had with the bottom panel--ours seemed very sturdy.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Picture looks darling. Sent it to relatives & they said they liked it...
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Very well made product, can wait until spring to put it outside.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I had alot of butterflies in my garden this year as I have in past year's but none went near their supposed shelter. It look's cute hanging there, a waste of money though. I should have put my investment in another plant that feed's the lovely creatures.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Although it is asthetically pleasing, for the cost
It is defintely not well made and not durable.
I have resently seen other butterfly respites at
other stores and for the cost they are very durable.
I happy with the appearance and I am hoping that
it will endure the seasons of spring and summer.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I have had my shelter for over 2 years and have never had a problem with it. However, I do place it under the eaves so it is mostly sheltered from the elements. I don't see a lot of butterflys around so don't know if it really works as a shelter. It does look very pretty though.

Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Love the item. Disappointed in construction as bottom fell off shortly after we hung it in the yard. Have super-glued it back and fingers crossed it holds. Is this a common complaint? Did I get a "lemon" ?? It isn't getting heavy use and we are in a moderate climate.
Hope your other products are more durable. Not sure I will buy your line again.

Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I was extremely disappointed in this product. The bottom of the box fell off after being in the garden for only one week. It apparently was glued on and did not hold up. I would send it back but do not want to incur any more expense. I considered trying to glue back but the bottom does not match up well with the box and I don't think it would work. A lesson learned for me.

I got the butterfly house for my mother (who is an avid gardener) for her birthday, and she loves it. Great present!

Hasn't attracted a single butterfly, but am keeping my fingers crossed.

Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I bought this as a close-out item on sale, and it is very cute. However within 4-6 weeks I had to ask to have it replaced because the base was pulling away from the sides. [...]This may be ok for dry climates but not for the rainy NE.

Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I hung two butterfly houses out and the bottom of one fell off after a couple of weeks. I had to fix it myself--not difficult but I had other things I would rather have been doing.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Bought the pale yellow version as a gift for gardening friends. Butterflys were attacted the first year. This was a perfect gift and of course, they are enjoying the inhabitants as they peruse their garden!
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Looks very attractive hanging near one of my butterfly bushes. However, I'm not sure if any butterflies actually are using it since I've never spotted any entering or leaving! Since our property has been designated by the National Wildlife Federation as a wildlife habitat, this little butterfly house adds another opportunity for us to offer these beautiful specimens a place to shelter.

The bottom fell off after 3 months. The replacement that was sent arrived with the bottom already off!

We don't know yet if any butterflies are in there, but it sure is cute!

It's a little early for the butterflies, but I put the butterfly houses up anyway--a lovely decoration in the yard.

Very beautiful house

I can't wait to hang my new Butterfly house outside! I have it displayed on the hearth of the fireplace, to remind me of the warmer weather.

Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
love the idea of providing shelter, but not good when the bottom fell off a week after hanging it.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Can't wait to place it in my butterfly garden come spring. These usually cost three times as much, so I was very pleased to find this so reasonable.

Great gift item.

Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
The Butterfly Hotel looks just like the picture. Sturdy and painted nicely. Perfect for the garden to attract butterflies, and also very decorative. Great gift. Thank You Gardener's.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I bought the Bittersweet Butterfly Shelter for my brother-in-law, who keeps a lovely backyard garden here in Michigan. None of the family had ever seen a butterfly "house"...so it was an instant hit. Add to that the very, very high quality of the product, and the gift was "over the top." My brother-in-law was very impressed, and as such, I, the gift-giver, scored high marks. He's looking forward to Spring so he can set it up and watch butterflies visit their new home. I love the uniqueness, price, and quality of this product, and I will certainly buy from Gardeners Supply again!
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Very nice shelter and well constructed!
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Have given as a gift many times and everyone found that the butterflies appeared out of nowhere. With a Gardner's butterfly oasis to provide water, it is the perfect attraction for the butterfly lover.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Having purchased this in the winter, I don't know how well it will work yet, but I like the design and colors. It will be a nice addition to my butterfly garden.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Don't know about attracting butterflies nor how long it will last, but for now it looks great hanging from the shepherds hook. Melds perfectly with fall colors. Entire construction is tin (?) so shouldn't disintegrate in rain like fiberboard does. Hook for clean out door doesn't work but I'll be happy if that becomes a problem.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
It looks wonderful in my yard which no longer has grass, but has a lot of flowers and other plants. My friends like it as well. I live in Florida so can enjoy it year round.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
We've seen a lot more butterflies near the butterfly house. It's attractive and a nice addition to our garden.

Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
This was a pretty accent hanging in my butterfly garden. After a few weeks the bottom fell out onto the ground. I thought it was just fitted onto the main box but the bottom had been glued to a narrow strip of the wood and just gave way with no bad weather or rain or wind being a factor. Don't know why it would have been made that way. I hope I can glue it back so it stays. It looked great until it fell apart.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
hangs easily from any tree, or large bush

Very pretty but mine must have been defective. Put it up early summer and lasted until the end of August, warped and fell apart.

very pretty in the flower garden. good quality
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
I gave this as a gift to my daughter who lives in a townhouse. It looks beautiful on her front porch. Even if it doesn't attract the proper animal it is still an attractive addition to her porch.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
These are really cute. We mounted ours on a post near our butterfly bushes. It looks great, even if we have seen any occupants.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Bought this for a friend as a gift. She loves it and set it up with her two small grandchildren who love to watch butterflies.
Comments about Butterfly Shelter:
Attractive in the yard -- hopefully will attract butterflies
