I thought by looking at this it was either wood or wood look. My bad for not reading the description better. I will either stain it a little or use it in a different place than originally planned. I do like how lightweight it is and it seems very weather proof if I decide the patio in the summer is where I put it. It does seem like a good quality. I have not set it yet to see how it keeps time. Should not need much to keep it on the wall which is nice. Love the large size.
