Purchased this item after seeing it online, and new I wanted it for my office. Initial thought was the style was spot-on and the color is great, but the finish on the plastic seams cheap. I understand its just plastic, but it has the appreance of a inexpensive child's toy. The levers in the back to adjust the time are VERY fragile, and came out of position several times while trying to set the time. I was gentle with them, and the minutes kept jumping multiple numbers. On the hours, the lever came off almost completely to the point where I almost submitted a return, but was able to get it back in position. On the hour flip cards, the 4 card was not in the right slot which prevented it from flipping at all. I removed the clear plastic cover and adjusted it, and now it works great. The instructions stated to set the clock a minute ahead of time, thinking there would be a delay I did this, but now my clock is a minute fast...I am just going to leave it because I'm to nervous to keep messing with it. Over all I do really like the clock, and I love having it in my office. I just wish it worked correctly out of the box, and had a better build quality for over $100.
