I was hesitant to order initially re people writing of the metal frame but it was sturdy and didn't bend. The only issued encountered is the hanger isn't quite in the middle of the clock and it hung at little off center (why I rated it a 4).  Easily fixed by attaching two furniture self adhesive felt circles just inside the inner edge of the frame - very inconspicuous.  The timing is very accurate - time has been true.  Lightweight - one person can easily hang on the wall.
