Horloge de plateau Linehan

pretty item. bought two for gifts.

I eagerly anticipated the arrival of this clock, I am a timepiece collector (watches and clocks) and want to replace a bedroom clock that no longer works. Extremely disappointed when it came, for several reasons: *The clock was not aligned correctly in the base (the 12 was at the 10 slot), and held in place by a large ribbed white rubber band. Very tacky. I removed the rubber band and aligned/oriented it correctly. *The clock will NOT stay put in the base without the rubber band - unbelievable. * The clock face and frame and the butterflies are a cheap plastic. Granted, the vines, leaves, and back appear to be metal *There were no directions or information as to what size battery it requires, no information where the battery compartment was - I found it, it was under the white rubber band, so to insert a battery you need to remove the clock (and rubber band) from the base. *There are numerous flaws in the black background paint on the back (bubbles, for example). I have worked with enamel paint, and if it is "enamel" as stated, it must be the cheapest quality available. I suspect it is just high-gloss. None of this would have mattered had it cost perhaps $10 - but at $40 plus shipping it is WAY over priced. I have over 50 timepieces, ranging from $5 to hundreds, and the $5 ones are of better construction than this one is. I am willing to give Wayfair another chance, and chose to get store credit to see if there is a clock that I would like. I have tried returning it, but every time I try to get a shipping label I am sent an empty email, or kicked off your site. Can Wayfair make this right?

Looks great and as pictured.

Beautiful clock
