I ordered this a little while ago, and it's been sitting on my desk at work. Everyone who sees it admires it, and it's a good way for me to remind myself to get up every hour and at least stretch so I don't get too cramped up by sitting at my desk for hours at a time. The shipping packaging was great, so don't worry about it arriving broken. The only thing I can say that occasionally it does that I didn't expect is that it infrequently stops in the middle of the hour, but when I notice it, it only takes a little shake to get the sands moving again. I really like the hourglass, so if you've been looking for one, this is a fine-looking hourglass at a great price, so you should order it now!

3.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, November 22, 2010

Buyer Beware when purchasing this hourglass. I am a very proud owner of a beautiful cherry hourglass that I purchased under this description from this website. It's solidly constructed. Everyone who sees it compliments me on it. Subsequently I have purchased this item 2 more times online, same River City box, same item number 906C and I have received what appears to be a very cheap knock off. It's poorly-constructed. The hourglass is discolored and not made of the same material. The wood is darker and almost looks painted over. The 3 posts are thinner than the original and coming apart from the bases. The sand is a darker color and adheres to the hourglass as if wet. The first time I was out over $20 back and forth. The second time the company (not Amazon) refused to refund at all. I don't know how to explain the differences in the 2 products but be careful unless you are purchasing this item in person. I am rating this a 3 since the original (if you can get your hands on that one) is exquisite but the hourglasses that appear to be left are horrid and I wouldn't buy them in a dollar store.

hourglass sand timer is very pretty,however, there are chunks of sand that get stuck in the funnel - every time - over and over again. Does not do a very good job as a timer.
