After reading some of the Comments before Ordering this Clock, I was a little leary about getting one also, but I Really liked the 'LOOK' of it & the Size. I am NOT Disappointed. It arrived well-wrapped, & I very Carefully slid the packaging off of the 'Warms' of the Clock! I like the 'Oiled-Bronze' look of Frame and Arms. The Roman Numerals are more of a 'Bronzed Copper' & I like that also!! Easy to Mount on the Wall...above my Fireplace.
