I knew this clock was our style. I could see it was beautiful. I had NO idea how distinctive it would be out of the box and on our wall! The wood color is very like the photo...but a monitor doesn't quite do it justice. This low-profile, expansive (yet inexpensive) wall clock has a more marbled look to it---in other words, the wood isn't just a solid brown that goes with a single type of decor--it is a blend of hues that mesh with mid-century & contemporary styles. For instance, we have a teak dining set and it just 'GOES' with it. But I could easily see this clock in a room with furniture made of espresso or cherry. If you're into high gloss (foil finish) pieces, this clock fits in with that, too.
