SOFFEE DESIGNRustic 6-Minute Hourglass Sand Timer, Vintage Distressed Sand Clock, Rustic Sand Watch with White Sand, Antique Sandglass for Home, Kitchen, Office Decor, Turquoise

This hourglass is an accurate 6-minute timer. It's perfect to use between eyedrops that require at least 5 minutes between drops and it's decorative.

Very nicely constructed, but smaller than I expected

The quality is surprisingly nice. The glass is nicely formed. No defects. The stand is beautiful. My biggest complaint is that the color looks nothing like the stock image. I ordered black. This is what I received. I would say they sent the wrong item, but it's but y'all either. It's distressed. A metallic looking stressed hour glass. Maybe I can paint it. Anyways. It's nice and keeps time. Don't expect black cast iron. Not even close.Update: I am surprised with consistency in time measurement. Not accuracy. This hourglass is not accurate. However I'm VERY impressed with how consistent the time measurement is. I have a few hourglasses. Oddly enough, the time measurement of an hourglass can different based on which direction the sand flows. Some hourglasses the sand can even get stuck. You can visually determine how reliable an hourglass will be by closely inspecting the center of the glass. On a cheaper hourglass you'll see ununiform glass. I can say I'm very impressed with how well formed the glass is on this hour glass. On close inspection, that center joint is near perfect and uniform. As a result, the time measurement is VERY repeatable. On my particular hourglass, the exact time is about 6:25 seconds. That's pretty inaccurate, but after 6 flips, each measurement has been EXACTLY 6:25 seconds. Sadly, this is a tad long for brewing tea, but because it's so precise, I can compensate. Although I'm not happy with the unfinished appearance of the hourglass, I am extremely happy with the quality and function of the hourglass. It's not only attractive (ie: the casting), but crazy nice quality on the glass.As a final word, the stand is NOT made out of IRON! We can blame Amazon for consistently mislabeling and false advertising there. The metal is some alloy. Probably a zinc alloy mix. A magnet will stick to a ferrous metal like iron. The metal has no magnetic quality what so ever. I really want to subtract another star from my rating because of the false advertising, but the glass bulb inside almost makes up for the misleading description. The cast is nice and detailed, but not heavy like you'd expect from a cast iron product. The weight primarily being the glass. Overall, still and okay product. Compared to similar hourglasses, I've found this one far more useful for time measurement.

Accurate time keeping and classic look. Purchased this because I specifically needed a 6 minute timer for a board game.

Too small. Overpriced for what the item is.

I bought this for my mother in law for Christmas. She absolutely loved it. It looks weathered and antique. The color matches her kitchen perfectly. Very happy with this

The pros: the color is accurate & the metal quality seems good. The hour glass itself has no visible issues and the sand runs through without issue.It’s cute until you look at how the hourglass is affixed to the metal casing.The Cons: it’s affixed using sticky styrofoam pads. Each side has 2-3 of these round sticky styrofoam pads which is seen in the photos so I was expecting that, however the one I received was constructed half-hazard as shown in the photos.The hourglass is crooked. While the pads are centered on the metal casing it’s stuck to the edge of the actual hourglass rather than being centered.As a product that is meant to be a decorative piece it’s not as pleasant to look at as one would hope.Overall it’s cute and the materials is worth the cost but it’s assembly cheapens it, which makes it a disappointing purchase. :(

I love everything about this beautiful decoration piece that completed my living room half wall. I may have to buy another for a different room, we love it so much. Much better in person than photos even show. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this company and this item. Super happy!!!!!
