I was looking for a wall clock that would enhance a framed print I had on my living room wall and this design was just perfect...both in terms of the colors and being a musical theme. The quality of the item is wonderful and I couldn't be more pleased. I live in Portugal now and, unfortunately, this item was not available for shipping to Portugal. Luckily, I found out United Airlines would accept it as normal checked luggage. So I had it shipped to my hotel in the U.S. and they held it until my arrival. And then I checked it into luggage and with the fragile label on the box United handled it separately as an odd size item. The point of sharing this is that the packaging of it was sufficient that it made it from San Francisco to London for my connection and to Portugal! And I mounted it an the arms worked fine. I did have to gently press each of them (per the instruction sheet) to "snap" into place on the mechanism so that they would then rotate. Note that it says to only use a regular AA battery (supplied) and NOT a max powered version of AA. So will have to remember this when I need to change the battery. But definitely recommend this line of wall clocks!
