Cubby's

1. Some bottle trees that are being sold out there are only ½ inch thick, some are shipped with many pieces to put together and still some are actually hollow pipes! All our bottle trees are solid steel and are shipped in one or two pieces (The Peacock is three). If it is a two-piece tree from us, you simply slide the top piece into the bottom piece! Our shipping boxes are 60 inches long. Beware of trees mailed in smaller boxes. Smaller boxes mean more pieces to put together!

2. We sandblast all our trees and then wipe them down before they are shipped. Your tree gets to you ready to paint if you desire!  We even tell you the best method to paint your tree! Sandblasting our trees removes the black spots from welding and insures a nice smooth finish for you in case you want to paint it!

Here’s why you’re going to love that we sandblast and paint our trees. We ordered a “big old bottle tree” from another company. When we opened it, it was dirty metal and not packed up at all. Everything was rattling around in the box and our hands got dirty just taking it out of the box. It sure wouldn't have made a nice gift to open. That won’t happen to you with our trees! It’s almost a pleasure opening and unpacking our Bottle Trees! They come packed very nicely indeed.

3. We own “Cubby’s “An Art Studio”. It’s an actual art studio you can look up online. We own a regular “Brick and Mortar” storefront that you can come and visit anytime. We take pride in our finished bottle trees, like the rest of our art! We build our trees by hand, one at a time with Pride, Love and Good Karma! Just search the web right now for “Cubby’s Bottle Trees” and you’ll see how popular our bottle trees are and our bottle tree farm!

4. We include a free gift with our bottle tree orders! The FREE gift is a blue bottle that we drill a hole in the neck of the bottle. We also supply a suction cup. Simply hang the bottle by the suction cup and stick it to your window! You can then put a small fake (or real) flower in the bottle! We use our bottle to display our twigs in. Without it, where would we keep our twigs?

5. We prefer not to add a piece to the bottom of our trees to rest your foot on and shove it into the ground. Nor do we add any type of “stabilizer” feet. We prefer not to do these things because those trees, built like that, prohibit you from choosing the height of your tree. It’s picked for you by the attached legs. With our trees, you have some flexibility as to the height. You can plant it higher or lower. Sometimes a few inches make the difference. Besides, most soils aren't so soft enough that you’re going to be able to just “push” the tree into the ground. You can’t do it here in Florida and we have almost nothing but sand. Almost every single bottle tree owner must dig a hole for the tree, period. We use a post hole digger, but you can use a regular shovel.

Also, don't be fooled by other bottle trees that have branches low to the ground. It will be a pain to mow or weed-eat around the branches! That’s why we keep them off the ground.

6. You should know that almost every single crazy- colored bottle out there is painted. The paint scrapes off. Also, once these painted bottles are placed on a bottle tree, the sun starts to take its toll. Eventually the paint will fade and chip. Stay away from the temptation to buy these oddly colored bottles! Why do people even sell them if they are going to fade and look ugly after awhile?

Blue Glass is thought to have healing powers!

7. If you're giving a Bottle Tree as a gift, rest assured, besides being sandblasted and painted brown, our trees are professionally packed! Your gift will look great when they are opened! With the free gift included, it’s the gift that keeps on giving! We will even include a special little note from you! Just let us know what you want to say and we'll make it look nice for you!

8. We are the only company to give the option on some of our trees to add branches! Just inquire before ordering if you feel you want to add branches. Some of our trees are too big and heavy to       add anymore branches too!

9. Our Trees are WELDED, (not spot-welded like some). Solid construction means you can bend the branches without fear of them breaking off or falling apart, period! We’ve never had branches falling off or trees falling over, period.

10. We Promise, if you have any concerns with anything you purchase from us, we'll make it right! One way or another, you're going to be satisfied with your purchase! It's just how we roll.
