I love it! For something you look at every few minutes to check the time, it looks great. It looks great in my living room area that has a wood tones and the metal adds a rustic but classy touch. I was hesitant with the short hands and I thought it would be hard to tell time, but it's not. I would definitely recommend to a friend. The size is perfect, it was hard to decide where to put it cause it looked great on every wall from the kitchen, over the fire place and the entry way.
