I had a very large space opposite the fireplace in our great room.  The wall was finished with crown molding, wainscotting and upper divided panels.  The clock fits perfectly in this space, not overwhelming, but large enough to make a statement.  It was not difficult to hang, the back hook is off center approximately an inch, just had to factor that in after determining the center point on the wall.  The clock  keeps perfect time and  was the perfect piece to finish the room.
