This clock is lovely--it manages to be both elegant and adorable at the same time! Highly readable.

Well made; contrary to some comments, the plastic is no thinner than any other such item.  Also, silent.  Same AA-battery mechanism as all clocks these days.

Be advised, the green version is not a slightly bluish green as most of the pictures show; it is more of an organic green, even tending toward avocado.  Because of that, I couldn't use it where I intended, but I liked it so much I put it up in another room.

I don't give it five stars because I don't feel I can give anything five stars until it lasts its expected lifetime--in this case, about ten years, I suppose.
