Okay, I’ll start with the appearance—it’s pretty and the colors are relatively accurate to the depiction. The clock is truly thin and the edges are semi-sharp so you must be careful when handling this. There weren’t any hooks or anything already on it although, they do provide the hardware, but no instructions. Now, in terms of operations, this clock does NOT keep time. This was quite an expensive clock (almost 130 after taxes) and it does not work as it should. Unfortunately, I purchased this ahead of time while waiting on new home to be built. Now, that I’m in my new home, I have an overpriced clock that does not work and can no longer return. It’s pretty but overpriced and with the poor mechanics, you would come out better getting a much cheaper clock. Hope this helps.
