   I cannot say enough about this clock! My grandpa had an actual Bavarian from Germany when I was little and I have always wanted one but knew it was out of my budget. This clock is absolutely gorgeous and A LOT bigger than I had anticipated which is a bonus. I cannot recommend it enough if you are wanting one. After 45 years I have my own cuckoo clock from my childhood!

   The clock was well packaged inside a custom Styrofoam box. Even though I knew the clock was going to be bigger than a standard German black forest type clock, I was still a bit surprised by how large it was. So if you have a small apartment or room be prepared for the enormous size. I am going to have to try to fix the clock however, the sound switch on the left side popped inside when I pushed the button. Either the clip that holds it in is defective or its something else. If I cannot fix it then I will have to find out about getting a replacement clock. I agree with other reviews about the bird cuckoo echo, for each bird cuckoo sound it has a second cuckoo sound that is weaker. This kinda makes it hard to count if you actually want to know what time it is when your not right in front of the clock. Otherwise, the clock is beautiful and a welcome addition to any family or living room. For the price its a pretty good value.

   Wow! This cuckoo clock is amazing! My husband and I just love it. It arrived yesterday. I expected it to be smaller but it’s much larger than expected. I love the way the cuckoo sounds….when it comes out it cuckoo loud followed by a quieter cuckoo which sounds like an echo and you can hear a background sound of birds. The little angel dancers dance to a different nursery rhyme after the cuckoo bird finishes his performance 😉. The bird only cuckoo’s on the hour. This clock is very well made. Its crafted by wood.

   The media could not be loaded.

    The clock was easy to assemble. I love the cuckoo and music. Very attractive clock. I cannot afford an authentic black forest cuckoo clock. My great aunt had an authentic 8 day cuckoo clock. As a child my siblings and I would run into the living room to watch the clock. Oddly enough it taught us how to tell time by counting the cuckoo sounds and placement of the clock hands. It appears to be made of wood. It was nicely packaged, arrived on time. Keeps perfect time.

   I love that it’s rather large. The cookoos and the songs after are fun. The greatest part is that the clock will not engage in the amazing outrageous noises and song when it’s after dark due to a light sensor. Also the ticking of the clock is very quiet.

   It only sounds during daylight. Everyone likes its looks, sounds and substantial size. Our 5 year old runs to the kitchen every time it sounds and takes a drink of water – which she agreed to do if we got this clock and put it in the living room of our isolated, off grid, ranch house.
   Sneaky aren’t we? Guess who is better hydrated and healthier now?

   Edit: we are a month away from the 5 year anniversary of having purchased this clock. Still perfect, still running flawlessly.

   We really love this coucou clock, it’s size and look pefectly fits our traditional style country house. But it always runs in a hurry, in a couple of days it hurries about 15 minutes and we constantly have to fix it.

   But first a word about the New Shining Image Company. My clock shipped with only one of the wooden dangles. We did not discover this until Mother’s Day, even though the clock had arrived more than a week earlier, because it was a Mother’s Day gift. I emailed New Shining Image through Amazon on Sunday, expecting at best to get a reply on Monday. To my surprise, they responded within an hour. On Monday the missing “weights” were on their way, and here in Houston by Thursday. That is truly exceptionally good customer service.

   An earlier review dissed this clock because “It isn’t a real Black Forest Cuckoo Clock.” Well, Duh! Sure, those are nice, and an equivalent mechanical clock from Europe could easily run $1200.00 or more. Sure, if you are rich, go for one of those. But for everyone else like us, who have to live on a real-world budget, this is as close as we will ever come to owning a cuckoo clock. My wife loves it, and I am very grateful to have come upon it while searching the web for cuckoo clocks we could actually afford.

   Yes, this is a battery-operated clock; the “weights” are carved from wood and are ornamental only. It’s nice that the pendulum swings via a motor, even though it is ornamental, too, and is not used to adjust the speed of the clock. For $100.00 this clock is a fantastic bargain! It keeps time well; the cuckoo sound with echo sounds nice, and the music with the twirling dancers is even better. The case is hand-carved wood, not plastic, and it has all of the beauty of real wood. The clock keeps time well.

   I could not be more satisfied or happier with it.

    Couple of things: the clock is made of wood, not plastic, except the bird. The dial is white, not golden as shown in the pictures. The clock pretty much looks the same as in the official photo. The finish of the wood is nice (not too glossy) and the shade is rich chocolate brown. The wood carvings are decent,but the details are nowhere near the level of an authentic black forest clock (so is the price:)). A true certified cuckoo clock from Germany of this size with the given features would be more than a thousand dollars. This one doesn’t have the fine carvings and details in a real cuckoo clock, and the wood contours have less 3D feel to it. Setting up the clock was super easy and hanging on the wall doesn’t need anything more than a simple nail, given the weight. The cuckoo sound is fine (not a fan of the echo), but the music is a bit dull, missing the high frequencies and different sounding than a Swiss music box. Overall, I would place the clock in a personal place like a bedroom or a hallway, but maybe not as a centerpiece in a formal living room. Given the size, the features and the wooden look and feel, I would consider this a fair value for money.
