This clock was a great buy: I was looking at another wooden clock on this site that was a couple hundred more and I didn't have the money to spend. I thought this looked just okay compared to the one I actually wanted. Ordered it and when I received it and opened it I was in love. This clock looks amazing. It is real wood, you can actually smell it. And it looks awesome up on the wall. This particular one was stained darker than the sample one but it still looks awesome. If you're looking for a good wooden clock at a good price you don't have to look any further.
