This clock is adorable! I say that because it is a petite wall clock with gray and  griege paint great for the shabby chic look. It is not a tall floor clock like I had in mind. The bottom is rounded making it unable to stand alone even if one elevated it with a riser. Another buyer was unhappy with it stating she had paid $185, I'm a little disapointed in its diminutive size and I paid $250! Ouch! Overall- a cute clock - just be sure you realize 52inches high is only four feet four inches. Also very narrow and light weight.
