Item is black in color.Quality of product is a 2 on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best).I over paid for this item. It’s a $20.00 max item.Only good for a garden fixture. Not to be handled. Looks okay from a distance.

This was probably my worst purchase of the year.The armillary looked nothing like the photos (I ordered the distressed one with a greenish-blue patina on it and received a fully black one).On top of the color not matching at all, the screw that comes with it had a the most galled threads I have ever seen and they don't even hold it together.It felt like the most flimsy metal, almost plastic-like. The light weight was a solid indicator it wasn't going to be good.Value for money: NONESize: smaller than imagined.Pleasant return process but that's the ONLY reason for 1 star.

I purchased this armillary to use with the Rome Cast Aluminum Pedestal I bought. I could not be happier with this purchase. Together, this armillary and the pedestal are the prefect statement piece for my garden. I wanted some kind of feature in my garden that fit my personal aesthetic. I looked for months and nothing grabbed me. I saw plenty of peacocks, creepy looking concrete children, statues of naked people, religious iconography, gnomes, fairies, dragons... even frogs reading books. I was starting to lose hope. It suddenly occurred to me to look at sundials, and I stumbled on this armillary and the pedestal that goes with it. Finally! Problem solved! If you're like me and have been searching for a classic and captivating centerpiece for your yard or garden that isn't religious, political, silly, creepy or just plain weird, the combo of this armillary and the Rome cast aluminum pedestal is really hard to beat. 5 stars.

I knew the product would be green, but it is really green and not an attractive green. The pictures shows a little more black spotting than mine actually is. It is going back.

Arrived undamaged. the Armillary was easy to assemble. I installed the sundial so that it was fairly accurate following the instructions. I had to adjust the angle of the arrow from the perpendicular with the angle of latitude for my location. for Tampa FL, that was 26 degrees. I used a protractor which aided greatly in finding that angle. I aligned the arrow with astronomical north using the North Star, and now the time is pretty accurate. Beware though, the device does not allow for daylight savings time!

Very nice construction. Looks great in our garden atop the matching pedestal. Easy to assemble, but I would not vouch for it's accuracy as a sun dial.

Looks nice in my backyard, however, I put a fair amount of work into setting it up correctly to give accurate time,then realized that the hour markings were not in fact correct, but simply for decoration. The space between thehour marks is designed to fit the width of the roman numerals, not to reflect accurate time marks. To get the actualsun based time, it would be required to add proper hour marks yourself, say on the side or back of the time band.Nice product, but should say "for decoration only". I also wanted it for decoration, but the fact that it works andis an ancient scientific instrument is a bonus. I would have preferred one that works correctly.
