Howard Miller Ardie Mantel Clock, Aged Appearance Black Finish Solid Metal Frame, Aged Analog Dial with Arabic Numerals Battery-Powered Quartz Movement Idle Alarm Clock for Home Decor

I am very disappointed in this clock. After reading a lot of the reviews and looking at some photos, I decided to order even though another reviewer mentioned it was gray. There is absolutely zero black on the clock. It looks like at some point the colors changed and the description was not updated on Amazon. Additionally, the antique look is not what I expected since the clock is gray, goldish/brown and turquoise. I added pictures of a close up of the back and then with a black background for reference. Hope this helps someone else if you want to see the real colors. I really wanted to love this clock based on the pictures online and the description, but unfortunately will be returning it and looking for something else.

I so wanted to like this clock. And I loved everything about it...except the picture makes it look like it has more black in it. No. It was very gray with blue and green tinges. No black finish at all.

Easy to read with large numbers.

I wanted to like this clock, but it was a little too big for my liking. It looked out-of-place on my mantel. Sadly, I had to return it. Nice clock, though.

I'm very pleased with the clock. It's solid, well built, looks nice on my living room shelf. It has a clear, large, and easily seen clock face. Its only negative quality, in my usage, is that in the evening when indoor lights are on, I do get some glare on the glass, making the clock a bit more difficult to read. But this issue is certainly not unique to this product.

I was worried the clock would not fit in with my decor as I have several antiques and collectibles. The clock is the right height and fits in well. Delivery was fast and excellent packaging.

The hinges on the back are very thin and will break easily. The back does not close tight so it looks poorly made.

Easy to read, attractive, fits my decor, no regrets with this purchase
