I am so glad I ordered this piece for my lakehouse.  It is a nice accent piece that fits into any rustic setting.  It is heavy enough to withstand any slight bumps to the table where it is displayed and it has a nice finish. One thing you cannot see from the picture -- the base does not have an actual dial mechanism on it.  Instead, it has raised texture where the numbers should be, but not the separate dial piece.  This is not a detraction in my opinion, but I thought I would add that since it's not obvious in the photo.
