Beautiful but still hard to read. We love the large size of this clock and quickly got it up on the wall. Unfortunately we all quickly realized it was not going to work as we could all see the numbers but everyone, including young adults, could not see the hands of the clock. Somehow the color and glossiness of the hands made them disappear into the beige background of the face. We had to disassemble the clock, sand the hands and then paint them black. Now we can see what time it is, even from 25 feet away.
