I rec'd the  clock a few days ago. My husband hung it on the wall that goes into the family room....We have an open concept that my husband did some years back. So while you enter through the front door going straight about 25 feet into the dinning area/kitchen/family room the clock hangs at the end of the wall on the right before you hit all theses spaces...Does that make sense? Anyway I had read previous reviews that the numbers were hard to read, I didn't find that with our clock on either side to be difficult to read. This clock is made of metal,is not too heavy in weight, made well,very old time look and can actually go with almost any decor. The picture depicts how the clock really looks, I love this clock!
