I love the look of the clock.  It is not pieces of wood but a piece of paper or something that looks like wood pieces.  One of the reasons I chose this clock, besides for the look of it, is that it said the ticking cannot be heard.  It can be heard, and for me that's annoying, so I'm calling Wayfair tomorrow to talk about a return.  It's a shame because it's really cute and looks fabulous on my kitchen wall.
