Beautiful clock!  Even more so in person.  I was disappointed that the pieces to assemble it were not included.  However, you can pay and have someone to come and assemble it.  Wayfair reached out to the manufacturer to send me a list of what I needed to assemble it.  My husband is going to do it for me to save time and effort.  It’s worth the trouble. I love the clock so much I’m ok with the assembly glitch.
