I love the clock and there really isn't any thing negative to say about it except that the fact that it does not have a cover to protect the hour and minute hand for shipping. The front of the box only has a piece of plastic covering the face of the clock and ( I think) during shipping, there was some pressure placed on the center of the clock which caused damage to the hour and minute hand and the clock would not keep accurate time. I had to return it because of this reason. I think id it was packaged better when shipping, it would protect the hands and make for a perfect clock!
