Buyer beware! I read the reviews and thought this had to be a decent product, but you can definitely do better at a dollar store. It's made of cheap flimsy plastic and the gears obviously are stationary. I tried returning it because for the price I know I could get a dozen clocks of similar quality, but then I learned about Wayfairs return policy; it actually costs the SAME amount to just keep the clock, although I'm not sure I even want something this tacky in my house. Overall a terrible decision.
