Product Description
The Murray Mantel Clock by Howard Miller has a Worn Black finish with brown undertones on select hardwoods and veneers.Howard Miller 635-150 Murray Mantel Clock Review
Although I just returned this clock, it was only because of it's volume control. Even at its lowest setting it is louder than the level of a normal conversation and could still be heard on the 2nd floor, although barely. I feel that any volume control should start at dead silent and go up from there. The outside finish on the clock is so smooth it feels like plastic for the most part (I could be wrong on that) except for the legs and the access door in the back. The inside feels like some kind of wood composit. The access door in the back has a latch with an oval metal ring. In order to gain access one would think it needs to be pulled straight out to be released from the clock. Actually, you need to just turn it. There are no instructions or arrows to guide you.Now the good part. We have a full size grandfather clock and this little jewel sounds just about like it. Amazing sound quality from just using a small speaker and a digitized recording.
The glass over the dial does not pick up much light reflection, if present, and one can clearly
see the numbers and hands in all conditions. The face of the clock has a diameter of about 6 1/4"
The clock uses two 'C' batteries and one of its fixed options is to shut off the ringing between 11:00 pm and 5:45AM after which it resumes ringing. The inside battery compartment seems to be of high quality construction compared to others I have seen. Overall, I really liked this clock and it kept perfect time the few days we had it.
