I bought this clock originally in White and returned it. IT wasn't really white it was more of a cream and the face was a little yellow, it also had a gold rim, not silver. It was pretty but just not what I wanted. I returned it and got the celadon. It's a pretty clock, but a little darker than the picture shows and the face is not white like the picture shows it's creamy with a yellow edge.
Returned this clock. Had to take screws out of back of clock to insert battery. The alarm is said to be a "gentle alarm". Well, it's not loud enough to wake me. I can sleep right through it. So it was useless for me as an alarm clock. I can remember having a Big Ben, maybe 40-50 years ago, and the alarm would wake the dead. But not this one.
Am buying my 2nd Big Ben. Bought the 1st one for my guest room, but it spends most nights in the Master with us. It is so much easier to use if we need to wake up at a different time from our main alarm clock. It's a good looking clock. The alarm is nice, not annoying or overly loud. It is super easy to set. I have changed the batteries once in the 2 or so years that I have owned it, not a big deal to do so.
