First of all, I ordered a black clock. When it came, it was brownish-bronze. I was OK with that since old clock was wood. The face is large but background is darker than pictured, so much harder to read than a bright one.  It hangs high on our sunken living room wall so you have to look up to read it. The last thing is that it had a scratch on it. But again, because of it's location it is hidden.
