This thing was HARD! I have built several booknooks of all sizes and they were nothing compared to this. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on this one. It is very pretty once completed though!!

The media could not be loaded. Very unique item. A bit challenging to build. Many reviews illustrated the clock does not run. Mine does. Perfectly.Tips. MEASURE with included tool everything called for. Lightly sand all gears. Peaks and valleys. Although not called for in the instructions, LIGHTLY sand and wax all gear axles. This way, even after assembly you can move gears for best alignment after assembly without taking the whole damn thing apart. THIS was a life saver. CRITICAL but not illustrated in the included instructions.If you're someone who has a plan to do a marathon all day build. You will likely fail to have an operational clock. Take your time. A few minutes a day. Building is the most relaxing part. Double check all your measurements. Use plenty of wax. Burnish into the gear teeth or any wood contacting wood moving parts. A little tweaking was required after assembly.My clock has been running 3 days. It's four minutes fast in 3 days. I'm Still adjusting for speed with the pendulum to fine tune.If you're un familiar with gears and how they work. This probably isn't for you. Trouble shooting will be required.Loved the challenge. The clock looks and works amazing. I dare you to find a clock like this ready to run anywhere. These haven't been made for centuries. You need to build it to own one. Five stars for sure.The video attached was a few hours after assembly. The clock hour hand not adjusted. Just running for functionality.

This appears to be a high quality product, and based on the 4- and 5-star reviews, others must have had better luck than I.When I opened package, I found that the parts board were warped. I am speculating a bit, but I have to think that maybe sandwiching the miscellaneous parts bag between the boards contributed to this.I also noted that some parts were missing from the miscellaneous parts bag.I emailed Wooden.City support about the missing parts and the warped boards. They told me that yes, the warped boards sometimes occur, but they made no mention of how to rectify that problem. They also told me that they would ship the missing parts if I provided my address and phone number. I provided the requested information and asked what to do about the warped boards. It is one month later, and I have not received the parts nor have I received any further email feedback.I thought I would try to assemble the clock anyway and see what happens... maybe by removing the parts from the boards, they would be less warped. No such luck, the parts remain warped. At least one of the wooden dowels is also slightly warped. At this point, I suspect that any more time spent on this kit will be wasted.I bought the kit last October and waited until January (well outside the return window) to open it, so not being able to return it is on me. For that reason, as well as the reality that others have had better luck than I, I give it 2 stars instead of 1.

The media could not be loaded. Fun clock to build. Looks great. I also have the steam punk clock from wooden city but after about a year the holes the axles fit in started getting deformed and it stopped working. This one looks so much better and works like a charm.W wooden model clock from any of the manufacturers, this is not a beginners kit. Clocks are pretty unforgiving. They need to be sanded correctly. The gears need to be spaced properly on their axles. They need to be waxed way more than the instructions show. Basically if any moving parts touch in any way shape of form they need to be sanded smooth and waxed or it wont work. The final assembly is a real challenge. So take your time and enjoy it. The instructions are adequate. Just pay attention to every thing.. Especially where it says to space the gears on the axles. They give you a measuring tool. Make sure you do exactly what it says.So over all well worth the money in my book. Hope this review heps some one.

Broken pieces and pieces loose in box. Was a gift...I'm a little embarrassed.

Parts don’t fit properly and directions vague
