Bedford Clock CollectionClassic Chiming Wall Clock with Swinging Pendulum, Golden Oak

its to pretty. the sound is great. good look.

Esthetically finished wall-hanging clock, that plays bell sounds during a day, and stays quiet overnight. It's one of those things that adds a special character to my home. Unlike those expensive mechanical clocks, this one is set and forget, at least until a battery replacement is needed.Setting of hourly bell is easy; manually adjust the hour and minutes to the actual time. Than wait until a minute arm hits the 12 o'clock number. Than press the set button as many times, as the current hour time is at the moment. You can set the clock to stay quiet overnight. But if it continues to ring, advance the time by 12 hours forward to make sure that the clock's day and night times are synchronized with the actual.I bought the lightly finished clock. But I wish, it was just a little darker. It cannot be stained or repainted, not easily as it is varnished with a polyurethane clear paint.Overall, a great addition to my home.

What I like about this clock: the golden oak matches my other furniture; the setup was easy to understand; it keeps accurate time; it chimes on the hour with several options; it doesn't make a ticking noise; and it's medium sized (not too big, not tiny.) On the negative side for me, I would prefer Arabic numbers instead of Roman; from a distance the clock face is hard to read; it's quite heavy and was a bit difficult to hang. I found it half price from Amazon Warehouse and it works well so far, so I feel it was a good deal for me.

The clock was a birthday present for my wife, she loved it .

Clock is on the wall and running smoothly. The new clock matches our new flooring recently installed. The clock is pretty and seems to be well made.

Clock did not work properly. The battery box was broken therefore the clock wasn’t able to function properly. I did receive a full refund from the company and they refunded my money promptly.

The Bedford Classic Chime Wall Clock case is nicely crafted and we loved the light walnut color...BUT it was DOA. We changed batteries 3 times (12 batteries) and the pendulum swung, however, the minute sweep would not work. Called the Bedford help line--total waste of time (customer support was less than stellar); instructed to change batteries and call Amazon.com if not resolved. Didn't feel like installing a 4th set of batteries so we requested an Amazon.com return and it was immediately approved with an excellent free return grace period of approximately 60 days. Thank you Amazon.com!Update: "IT'S ALIVE"...getting the box ready to pack the Bedford when I heard a chime--the Bedford came back to life...perhaps it's a Walking Dead Zombie Clock :]. Decided to keep it for now and see if survives the next few weeks. I upgraded my rating to 3 stars based on the initial DOA, battery changes, wasted phone call to Bedford's less than stellar customer service. Notified Amazon.com customer service--typical outstanding support cancelling the replacement and refund.

I am very pleased with this clock. Unlike many of the other less expensive clocks I considered, this one is made with real wood, and is not a faux wood finish. It works beautifully, the chimes are perfect, and it is an elegant and useful accent in my formal dining room. It was well worth the extra $$.
