Hourglass 60 Minute Decorative Sand Timer, Black Wooden Frame Red Sand Clock

Two years later I am here to buy another one for someone.The thing is that they are fabulous gifts, really. They fit modern decor PERFECTLY andwhile they very beautiful to look at, they are working perfectly perfect to measure time whenyou need it.This piece is fabulously amazing and inspirational... it really help one to realize the flow of time,how with every tinny grain of sand that seems like nothing time passes turning milliseconds into seconds.. seconds into minutes.. those into hours and before you know days, months and years pass.It helps me to visualize how previous the time is and how one can not take it back thereforeone should really truly make most of it while we are here on this Planet to do good, to help each otherand to preserve and protect the Earth for the next generation and those who will come after ..It is great gift for young people and kids who are old enough not to break it.Not only they can truly appreciate more the passing time but they also can way better organizethe allocated time for any task or simply control their own productivity or leisure actives.It is SUPER fantastic tool to help kids to know how much time they have left for a given half hour or one hour task without knowing the time yet.It is great for anyone who has any kind of anxiety regarding alarm clocks that make noise and aert beyond their senses tolerance. This is a very gentle and ancient method of measuring time.It is perfect for quiet activities like yoga or internet browsing or breaks that you want to take fromtime to time, and while you want to monitor your time you don't want to be stressed by the numbersor alarm sounds.To me it is not only time flow measuring device, it is also a connection to those who passed before us,the magical connection with the generations before us that are gone with the winds of history.This little magical device revokes some special connection to those people and the past of humanity as a whole.I cherish it tremendously. It is beautiful gift for myself and all those I gave it to are constantly using it for all kinds of activities, I know it because I see it as some of those are my family members.It is very durable and it does not break easily although definitely I suggest to respect it and handle with care.I saw someone saying some sand grains get stuck. From my experience, this thing is flawless but I also know that any mass produced items even under manual inspection can pass with some imperfections from time to time that are hard to catch unless regularly being in use. If you get defective item I would recommend exchange as trust me that they can and are perfect if you get one that works as prescribed.I absolutely love it! Love it! Love it!

It would have been exactly what I wanted without the numerous scuff marks, mostly on the corners, and a small 1 inch crack down the side. The damage wasn't horrible but not what I expected, noticable but not in your face The product itself was cute and the red was really pretty. It arrived in an unopened, non-damaged package but clearly had been repackaged.My mistake was that I kept it, I needed it for the following day and didn't have time to get anything else....now I wish I hadn't but it's too late. I still gave it to the recipient and she said she loved it but maybe more for the thought then the actual product. It was a bit of a funny, inside joke, kinda gift but also something cute for her to display in her new office.If you order, have a plan B just in case😊

I have ADHD, and therefore lack the patience to test how accurate it is, but it’s probably close enough, anyway. Looks cool. No shipping problems.

Yup! 5/5

Beautifully designed and it gets loads of attention in my office. It did arrive with a few places that had been slightly damaged and I could see the wood peaking out from those spots. It was seriously nothing worth sending it back for so I just took a permanent black marker and touched the areas up. People at work love to turn it over and no one has been the wiser as they as too busy saying how much they love it. Good purchase!

The piece is pretty, just as described. The one I received had a patch of sand stuck to the side of the "empty" part of the piece. A few taps and it released but there was still some residue left stuck. The sand is very fine (no problem) and I actually liked the feature that the sand/time passing isn't very visible but the problem is that it gets stuck and I had to keep shaking it to flow again. I'll be returning it and looking for a similar one from a different seller.

This was a last minute gift for my daughter, and I was thrilled with it when it showed up. Beautiful and she loves it!

Not a working hr glass... More like 75 or 80 min glass.
