I LOVE this clock! Like other reviews mentioned, the hands are extremely flimsy, but once it's on the wall, you'd never know.  One factor that almost kept me from making this purchase was the IIII vs IV.  However, after a little research, I learned that this feature is perfectly acceptable.  Although the price was a bit steep, I couldn't be happier with how it looks in our dining room, so it was completely worth the price.
