I feel this item appears like it has clean lines til I received item . It somehow looks very very inexpensive. Had they inverted the base metal it would look so much nicer , then the part that hangs from the wall would be against and would make item appear like a good quality item . It will work for the sides of a wall clock .  Designed backwards looks very cheap! . It is attractive at a glance so it will work for now. Overall a 3 innstructure.
