So far it seems to be running fine. Size is as stated. Looks just like the picture from the front. The back is a different story. It has MADE IN CHINA engraved in the back in large, noticeable font. You also have to take the back off to change the battery AND to set the clock. The back is held on with two screws that stick out about 1/3 inch with caps that are 1/4 inch wide. Big enough to be obnoxious. Plus, these short (on the inside) screws go into tiny holes that are hard to blindly find. My purpose for buying was to put it on a table that can be seen from both front and back. The back is so ugly, I can't use it there. (Perhaps if the engraving wasn't so obvious??) I like the look from the front enough that I will find a bookshelf, wall shelf or other place (without a mirror behind it) to display it, hence the 4 stars. Although, the fact that you can't set it (like for daylight savings time) without taking the back off almost brought it down to 3 stars.
