I purchased this clock and gifted to my grandmother for Christmas for the side of her garage. Its been 4 months now and its VERY clear this clock can NOT handle being outside. It is faded and warped beyond repair. It is facing directly North and with us living in the Northern Hemisphere and it being winter for most of its life so far, the sun has had no chance to shine directly on this clock. Also, you'll see in the pictures that this clock is under an overhang so it is not directly exposed to water but the warping is fairly severe, regardless. We actually had to bend the arms out because they became hung up on the warped backing. Nowhere NEAR the $220 price tag Wayfair is sold it to me for. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP construction. Rip off is literally the best fitting word with this clock. Steer clear.
