I just re-purchased this clock again as a gift for a male relative, after receiving a prompt refund for the first clock, which arrived damaged and with 2 crooked numbers.  This clock was in perfect shape and exceptionally well packaged and did not disappoint.  It keeps time beautifully and runs silent, eventhough a previous reviewer found that not to be the case.  A functional work of art for any home...so glad I re-ordered!
