3.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, but a bit impractical, September 16, 2007

I bought this bell for my sister after discussing how she needed a "dinner bell" like the one our mother had when we were kids. This looked ideal, but when only after I placed the order did I notice the $25 shipping cost. The high shipping is because this bell is *huge*. It's cast iron and well-made... and very heavy. It's pretty easy to put together, altho it looks like it was designed to have a wooden handle, which it does not come with. The only really bad thing about it is the mount. The bell can't sit on its own and can't be hung from above. The mount is a simple flange on the bottom designed to be screwed to the front of a flat surface with nothing above it, perhaps a post. [...].

1.0 out of 5 stars not as advertised, October 11, 2007

The description and picture were very misleading. We were very disappointed. It is an ugly bronze...not black and has hideous, gaudy curly cues around the bell. I'm going to try and grind them off and paint it black so it looks like the bell in the picture which I was after. I wouldn't recommend unless you want a fou-fou bell covered with curly cues.
