Works for what I wanted, but I don't like the artificial "antique splatters" on the metal numbers. As long as I hang it high enough you can't see them, I'm fine with it. Also, we recently moved, and this clock didn't travel well. The hands bent out of shape very easily, and it was tricky to bend them back where the clock would actually work. All in all, I am satisfied with it, but not thrilled.
