For the price, this is a VERY nice clock. I have been wanting one of these for some time and this one is nearly perfect. Better yet--I saw it on another website, went to order, they were sold out, so I found it here--cheaper AND with free shipping! The only hitch is that the top ornament is really clunky, like something a little kid did. But for the price--hey, it is supposed to be Shabby Elegance, after all!
