Love it! It arrived on
"Love it! It arrived on time and in one piece and my granddaughters are in love with it."
Colorful Decoration
"It is very colorful, but can only give an estimate of the actual temerature. Brightens up a dull corner of the table."
Graet fun!

Great product, read to get clock working
"Great little item, to get the clock to work . Gentle push from back and slide clock out of the front. On the side there is a small adjustment wheel with a plastic retainer. Slide retainer out from behind knob/wheel, turn knob to adjust the time then press knob in to start clock. Hope this helps many others that state the clock doesn't work."
Lacking crystals in 2nd chamber
"My husband picked this out as his Christmas gift. Received in a timely manner in good condition, just as pictured. Only problem, there are no crystals in the second chamber. Allowed it to sit as instructions stated, and in a temperature controlled room, but just clear liquid. Unfortunatley, it will be returned. It is petite and handsomely made, just lacking in one of its selling points."
Additional instructions would be helpful.
"Did not come with any instructions on how to change battery or to set the clock. Apparently other buyers had the same issues. Unit is too small to be easily readable, but is decorative."
Battery change.
"I rated it 4 stars because I had to change the battery because the new one when I received it was dead."
Suggestion for setting clock
"To Jeff from "Wildwood MO" , find out who the "clock" maker is -the company that is . Or try to Google the clock 'only' brand followed by the clock model number."
Love this!
"I got this as a Christmas gift this year (2018) and I love it. It is so pretty AND--it works! Set it near a lamp or another light source to really bring out the beauty. I would definitely recommend this to give as a gift and/or to get one for yourself!"
Q&A
- You list the height as 9", but I don't see a diameter listed for the base of the tube. Can you provide that measurement, please? Which clear liquid is used to fill the tube? Do you offer quantity discounts? If so, at what quantities and how much is the discount? Thanks!
- Thank you for your questions! The clear liquid used to fill the tube is paraffin oil. The base of the tube measures approximately 1.25 inches in diameter. At this time, we do not offer quantity discounts. Please let us know if you have any other questions—we’re happy to help!
