This clock is very light weight and the wood is very, very, very distressed.    It's cute if you're going for the Shabby Elegance look although am not sure it isn't more shabby than chic.   I had to touch up some of the roman numerals as a few were almost completely gone from the overdone distressing.   Also, some knots are readily apparent and appear almost black as they did not take the paint well.    It's ok but would probably not buy again.
