I was looking for a beautiful wall clock for our dining room for nearly a year. So many farmhouse clocks have Roman numerals; it was almost impossible to find one that didn’t. I love the white background with black numbers. I’m excited to use it to teach my children how to tell time. It will be the perfect addition to our dining room. The only reason I gave it a 4/5 is because it’s a bit more distressed around the edges on one side than I would have liked; that’s not how it’s advertised. It seems as if you never really know exactly how it will look until you receive it. That’s unfortunate, but still love the clock and can always paint it if the inconsistent distressing bothered me.
