Had lovely comments about it and yes its big! But, the image is v deceiving as the hands looks black so clear to see the time but in reality its not utterly useless as the shades are all the same so no definition with the hands in fact u cant see them! So i now have two clocks on the wall in 2 different places one to tell me the time at a glance and this clock just looks clever but its all talk no do ! 5 stars it could have been but 2 stars dropped for the fact its utterly useless!
