Coaster Home Furnishings Grandfather Clock with Chime Brown Red, 9"D x 20"W x 71.75"H

This is a nice grandfather clock! It keeps perfect time and it was easy to set up. Now that's saying something because I'm not usually somebody that is good at assembling things out of a package. You will need both a Philips head and a flathead screwdriver to complete the assembly. I like the way it looks at the edge of my dining room and it really livens up the entire room quite a bit! Please know that this product takes both AA batteries as well as C batteries. The clock mechanism and the chimes use the AA batteries and the pendulum uses the C batteries. I do agree with other reviews on this site when they state that the chimes are kind of cheesy. If you're looking for a clock with really classy Westminster chimes then this particular product is probably not for you but other than that I think it was a great buy for the price!

The clock is nice for the money. For less than $400 you are getting an all wood clock with an electric quartz mechanism and a quality clock face. Unfortunately, our first clock arrived with a big crushed spot on the top of the clock, and the replacement arrived with a big crushed spot on its side. The cardboard(!) box is very thin with only about 2” of styrofoam along the edges. After the second damaged clock delivery the company said they did not want to replace the clock anymore and said it was our fault that the clock arrived damaged—so no more replacements. We got Amazon to intervene so we did get a refund, but I would caution others about ordering anything fragile from this company.

First, let's get this out of the way: The box says "cherry," and the clock is exactly the same color as the mahogany table next to it. I like the color just fine, but someone should replace (or at least Photoshop) that picture.Speaking of the box, I don't think I've ever seen anything packed better than this. The box is padded and reinforced to a fare-thee-well. I was so impressed by the box that, months later, I haven't been able to throw it away.As you probably know by now, the clock has to be assembled. This took one man about twenty minutes. Piece of cake.The pendulum and "weights" are purely decorative, but they are made of light-weight (brass-plated?) metal and look surprisingly good. The so-light weights had a tendency to sway any time someone walked by, but I found that I was able to dismantle them and fill them with pennies. Instant stability.The chimes (sounding on the hour) are a little funky, but they don't sound so much electronic as slightly-out-of-tune-real. There's a volume control, and I suggest turning it down for maximum comfort and verisimilitude.For what it is (inexpensive wood solids and veneers), the cabinetry is surprisingly uniform and well-done, as is the finish. I could find no flaws at all, which amazed me.As others have said, this is no $10,000 clock (although it does look an awful lot like Howard Miller's very expensive "La Rochelle"; Google it and see). You could probably carry it under one arm in a pinch (okay, if you're Gaston). And the design of the clock face is a little underwhelming. But as a whole it's handsome and charming, and - btw - it keeps perfect time.

Wonderful product with nice quality sounds

This was a gift from my husband and myself to our Mom, she loved this clock and sits and admires it, and states it keeps perfect time.I was told from my hubby that his mom always wanted a grandfather clock, and I thought to myself we all want something really bad so why not makeher life more happier with what she always wanted and we purchased this for her Christmas gift this past Christmas and she so loves it, shows it offto everyone that stops by for a visit.I love amazon and have been shopping for the past 13 years with you and please don't ever go offline, you all are fantastic you have everything a persondesires and needs in life and I love shopping with you, and also recommended you to my immediate family which they all buy from you as well, keep up your good work.People If you know of someone special this is the perfect gift for them, it's workmanship is beautifully made, and its simple to put together, the chimes sound nice you can raise the volume to your liking we are proud to own a clock like this and again I want to thank amazon for having everything I ever need to buy out there for me.Thank you,Denise W.

This item arrived damaged and appears to be very cheaply made. We attempted to work with the seller to get the part replaced but they were very difficult to work with. All in all I would not purchase this product or work with this seller.

This is a very well Built clock . Structure is fine. Color is not what the pictures show.. Its more Red than brown. And the Chime is NOT real what so ever. Sounds like a door chime from a antique store. Regardless it makes it instantly fake sounding and now discounts everything about the clock. HOWEVER If you are a DIY kind of person, This is a great clock to start with. I just ordered a RHYTHM Quartz Chiming Clock Movement module that will replace what is installed - (60$) Now it has Real sounding tube bell chimes.Oh and we painted the clock and antiqued black-- MUCH MUCH better!

I love this clock. It is a perfect size for my new condo. I was relieved to see there was no visible red in the finish. It has lovely details to the case and is heavy enough to be sturdy though I did secure it to the wall and put a small but heavy cement planter ( with a lovely plant) in front of the base for extra weight.
