Love this. I have ALWAYS wanted a cockoo clock but they are just so expensive but understandably so since everything is hand made with so many working parts. I found this one and while it does not have all the inside working parts, it performs just like one with the little bird coming out. I look forward to the top off every hour just to hear that little bird..lol. It only cuckoos from 7am to 9pm so that is perfect, no night time while you are sleeping. You can also adjust the volume which is awesome. This clock is perfect for a childs room or for an adults first cuckoo clock. Love it!
