Side by Side Comparison of: FRIEND FUNNY vs Decho

This clock is absolutely gorgeous. It actually works so thats awesome. I was only getting it as home decor to spice up my living room but now I actually use it to tell time haha. The colors are perfect, it has the rustic vintage color and it looks great!

darling

I love this clock! I was going to put it out by the pool but I decided it would be perfect for my living room! It's a little smaller than I expected but no worries there as if any larger it would not fit where it is now. Bonus: it's a "quiet" clock!! The other ticked loudly and it echoed in the large livingroom. This clock would be a pretty addition to ~any~ room!!! Or out in the Lanai!BTW: I didn't receive the "free tray".

We recently moved into a new house and some of the decor I had at my own house wasn't working correctly. My cousin suggested changing the way my decor was lined up and finding a clock for the center of it. We searched all over trying to find the prefect colors and size. This 12in clock was a perfect match. It takes one double A battery that is no included. The hanging was very easy. I actually think my husband used a screw, which I had been planning on using a nail. Either would work fine though. I absolutely love this clock and how it fits in so well with my decor. I am very happy with my purchase.This was a personal purchase of mine and normal retail price. I am reviewing only to help other potential buyers.

It arrived in excellent condition just as pictured. I knew from the other reviews that it is actually a picture and not a raised or textured clock as it looks on here, so I wasn't expecting anything else. Even though it is a picture, it is very pretty. The colors match the area I have it perfectly. The second hand runs smooth and doesn't move a second at at time like some clocks, so there is no sound coming from it. I love it!

I'm glad I got this clock. It has a very nice look to it. At first it bothered me that the '4' was 'IIII' instead of 'IV', but then I looked up the history of 'IIII' and clocks, and now it's kind of cool. I like that the seconds hand rotates continuously. It's been running fine for a few months now, and I would buy this clock again.

This is a really cute clock! I have no complaints about the way it looks or functions. It looks exactly as pictured and seems to keep excellent time.

This is a really good quality clock. There are a lot of clocks priced about the same, but the quality of them is is very different. We bought this one along with a couple others (kids clock and other style wall clock) for the same price at the same time, and the other two were cheaply made plastic, loud, and eat batteries. This one has smooth motion on the second hand (doesn't click seconds like most of the wall clocks I've seen), and has had the same battery we put in since we bought it ~1 year ago. I'd HIGHLY recommend this specific clock and this seller (Decho Home Decor).

I bought this clock not realizing it came from China. It worked for less then a day. It looks lovely as a wall decoration but it doesn't keep time. The instructions say NOT to bend the hands and I didn't. It still got stuck. Then I heard from the manufacturer to bend the hands slightly - I did that probably making it now unreturnable and it sitll doesn't work.It's shame as it is a pretty clock that I really liked.UPDATE as of 3/2/14I heard from the company and they were most apologetic. They gave me instructions on how to get the clock working and it still didn't work. They then REFUNDED me my money which I never asked for and to keep the product. They then FOLLOWED up with more instructions on how to fix it and I did and it so far is working. Let me say that I am very impressed with how I was treated like a valued customer and was really surprised by the refund and sent them a note saying so. THANK YOU very much indeed.

After reading reviews about the lengthy shipping from China, I decided to order this clock anyways since I didn't need it in a hurry and I thought it would be perfect in our kitchen. It arrived 7 days after the order was placed, and several weeks before the estimated shipping date! It worked perfectly right out of the box, and looks and feels like a nice-quality clock. Love it!

I read all the reviews and decided to order in spite of the weird battery requirements. As another customer did, I used a regular AA battery and it runs perfectly.

The clock arrived in short order and I found that the colors were less vibrant than in the pictures here on Amazon- but that's okay with me because I actually prefer the more muted tones for my particular decor. It is lovely and if you are hesitating to buy it because it appears too garish don't hesitate! It isn't!

Cute clock but it is a press board frame with a paper print over it that looks like wood, not actual wood. Still cute

Nice clock, a bit gaudier in person than the picture shows and a little "busy", but works fine. When it was delivered the rather flimsy hands were bent, requiring some finessing to get it operating, hence the four stars. Eventually got it working fine.

Good vintage watch.Remember this don't have glass in front so handle with care in case of home shift.Everybody come to your house ask about it and think you bought it for some hundred bucks.Secret we only know.

I like the look very much.... but did not quite expect it to be a photograph on paper (of an aged and weathered wooden slat building of some sort). I wanted something a bit more upscale, but as the colors are right, and I like the Roman Numerals, I'm keeping it. My plan is to spruce it up with my own acrylic paints....when I get time. In the meantime, like it functions well in the kitchen. Like all clocks of its manufacture genre, it ticks annoyingly loudly.

Clock is a great accent to our bedroom however the second hand keeps getting stuck when it has to pass the minute hand. We've tried pushing the gold button both in a little and out... We thought maybe the battery was dying so we replaced it and still are having a problem with the second hand stopping. I really hope we can figure out the hang up because we love this clock! I wish there was a glass face to protect the hands...

Mine is missing the second hand, I'm gonna see if it will keep time otherwise I think I'll be returning it. Also my 4 is IV instead of IIII. Not a huge deal but still not as pictured.Update: It keeps time so I'm calling it livable and I'll keep it.

Nice clock for the price. If loud ticking bothers you, then this may not be for you. It is rather loud ticking. Since it's in the kitchen it's not such a problem for me. There's no clear cover to this clock, just fyi. I like the clock ok. I probably wouldn't pay more for it tho.

Really cute and like how it doesn't make any ticking noise.

The clock was received promptly in good condition, packed well. With a cost of less than 8 dollars I wasn't expecting to get a designer or expensive looking item. It's an MDF board with a paper face glued on and a simple battery operated clock movement. The hands are very thin and won't stand up to any abuse so be careful handling it, mount it in a place where it won't get hit or bumped. Only had it a few days but so far it keeps time well. The design and colors go well with our room decor, satisfied with the purchase.

After reading so many negative reviews of this item, I am reticent to write a premature review. The only criticism I can report now is that the second hand on my clock is black rather than the red shown in the item picture. I may need to update this review if the item fails as has been the complaint of so many.

It's beautiful and it goes great with my office décor. The first one I received does not work so I am waiting for the new one to arrive. If it does work well, then I'll definitely upgrade the 4 starts to 5.

This clock is a lot more delicate than I expected. The face is a very light cardboard. The minute hand is extremely fragile - it's not really attached to the other hands, it just kinda balances on top of them in a little hole but doesn't secure in. As soon as I opened the clock the minute hand fell onto the floor and bent a little bit. The bend made it unable to circle around the other hands so I (carefully) bent it up a little and it seems to work (so far). The minute hand doesn't "tick" it actually slowly and consistently circles the clock face which is nice. Pretty cool so far...

The back of the clock is nothing what is pictured. The hanger is a the top which it makes it difficult to hang without a tilt. Pretty disappointed.

I kept this because I had ordered it online. Had I bought it locally (easier to return) I would have. It's just a circle of particle board with the paper clock face pasted onto it. It looks nicer in the picture.

The clock didn't work for the first week or two. We fiddled with it, replaced battery and nothing. Then one day it just started. I almost returned it because it didn't work.

Second hand continuously moves around clock instead of by the second movement. Overall nice lock. Would be nicer if it had a frame around it but still nice looking.

Very pretty clock. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because it's much smaller than I thought it would be! I guess that's my fault since I'm terrible at visualizing sizes!

Very light weight and feels cheap. Looks nice but quality is lacking. And yes, missed IIII instead of IV in Roman Numerals but otherwise it is as pretty as the picture. Pricey for being a lightweight piece of wood.

It is much darker and looks very very old in real ! the pic looks much better than the product. Good for the price. Works well

The clock stops frequently! I'm constantly restarting it. It has to be low on the wall so that I can reach it to get it to the correct time. Runs for 2 or 3 days, then stops.

This clock is okay, but not high quality materials, and I thought it would arrive assembled, and it didn't, we have to put the hands on the clock but it is not too bad for the price.

The clock is cute, but the hands are pretty flimsy. I had to put them on myself and they're easy to bend and not as easy to get on. I don't think I would buy it again. It's easier to get a finished one in the store.

Don't expect much at this price, it feels super cheap, though it looks fine on the wall when you're not handling it. I did have to bend the minute hand so that the second hand could get by it. Also, it doesn't seem to hang straight down, its slightly tilted, not good. And if you're looking for a silent clock, this ain't it, you will hear the ticking unless you have a TV on or something.

I just put the battery in. It works, looks nice. But on the face of the clock, two of the French words are misspelled: "depuis" and "manger". Kind of funny, actually.

Ugly clock. This image in no way gives this clock justice.... "printed" image adhered to partial board... but the worst part is that the clock decal is pixilated/blurry....

This clock is a piece of plywood with laminate on the front and back. A clockworks was then screwed into this cheap assembly. The hands are exposed and extremely thin/bendable. The laminate in peeling from the edges as I remove it from the box.This thing is worth about $5-7, not almost $20. I would recommend looking for another unit.

The picture is much nicer than the actual product. This clock is very cheaply made, just printed paper on plastic. I kept it, as it does match the colors in the bathroom where I bought it to go.

I loved this clock but when it arrived, we put the batteries in, hung it on the wall and only the 2nd hand works, it does not keep time so will have to toss it and get another clock somewhere.

The clock is beautiful, but cheaply made. When I first put the battery in and hung the clock, the hands kept hanging up on each other, causing the clock to stop. It took several times of adjusting before the hands would clear each other. The clock hands are very flimsy, and I was afraid one was going to break. The clock seems to be working fine now. Appearance definitely outweighs quality.

The clock seems to be good quality for what it is. I thought that the rustic looking parts of the face were raised wood framing,they are not . IT is a picture, and there for to me over priced for what it is. If you dont mind that it is a print,Then i would say it is pretty.

Didn't last, stop keeping time, I purchased 2 for my mother. They look great though

I gave this two stars because it look nice, but it don't work. I put it together stuck the battery in, an it work a few seconds, and quit, put in another battery nothing. Not worth you time to buy, and I waited almost three weeks for it too arrive and I was so disappointed, just redecorated my kitchen and wanted this clock to finish it off. I would send it back but only $9.99, they can keep it. Live and learn.

Your experiences may vary - this clock arrived defective from the start for me - the second hand was bent, and the motor did not function.It's a shame, because the clock board itself seemed to be of high quality, and actually looked quite nice.

The clock itself is cute, but two things: 1) it's not wood so much as its particle board. 2) it arrived broken. The minutes hand is loose and just hangs down at :30. It's always 1/2 past the hour. The main problem is that they ship it in bubble wrap, then in a padded envelope. It needs to be shipped in bubble wrap AND A BOX. I would NOT recommend. All this on top of it taking three weeks to get.

**** UPDATE **** Well it seems I have spoken too soon.....I have had the clock for a little over two weeks and it has not kept accurate time for about a week. I had an alkaline battery in it and the clock would stop. I would take the battery out and put it back in and the clock would start running again. Unfortunately it would stop again after a few minutes or a few hours. I replaced the battery with a non alkaline one and it still did the same thing. Because the clock worked fine for the first week, I threw the original box away so I don't think i can return it, but i will contact Amazon to find out for sure. As others have said, it would probably make a nice wall decoration, but it seems that is all that it is good for. I had read previous reviews about this clock and was very hesitant to purchase. Problems mentioned were: the clock didn't work, the non-alkaline batteries were expensive or alkaline batteries didn't work, it too a long time to receive it, it was not made of wood and the colors were not as bright as pictured. When I purchased it there were many sellers to choose from and prices. I decided not to pay a cheap price and wait for a seller from outside of the US to send it to me. I paid the more expensive price and got it from an Amazon fullfilled seller and got Prime shipping. So that solved a couple of problems. Then when I received it I was very pleased that the construction seemed to be wood, although it was very light, but when I knocked on the back it felt and sounded like wood. I also put an alkaline battery in it and it has kept accurate time since the beginning. The graphic on the face of the clock was indeed not as vibrant as the picture but it was pretty close. This clock is very easy to read across a room and I got a few compliments on it already.

I ordered this clock because I liked the design and it went well in my arts and craft room. The clock mechanism was defective so the vendor sent another one. That was also defective. We got the second mechanism running but the clock made a really odd noise. Imagine my surprise when I returned it and the postage was $24.00, the clock only cost $36.00. I have always been satisfied with anything I ordered from Amazon but this time it was not a good experience.

Loved the design but it looks like cardboard. It is very thin and cheap looking, would not advise this especially because of the price. Turquoise look and very pretty, purchased this in August 2015, yes 15 and barely doing my review! Lol, wouldn't spend $10 on this.

This clock looked so different from the online picture when it arrived, it looked really cheap. I was going to use it anyway but it quit working within a week of putting the battery in it.

Looks like a small cardboard circle with a glued on picture...wasn't nice enough for the wall but I propped it up on the bookshelf where is fits fine

I usually don't give reviews because I expect products to be satisfactory this clock, was cheap looking when it arrived the backing was slightly better than cardboard the clock arms were flimsy and were slightly bent and within a day the clock was unable to keep any sort of accurate time.

As others have said, the clock does not keep time. The second hand on my clock moves one second backward for every two seconds it moves forward between the 6 and 8 o'clock area on the clock face. This causes the hour and minute hands to mark time incorrectly, of course. The error isn't consistent. Some minutes it loses a handful of seconds other minutes it loses more. Over an hour's time, up to 10 minutes can be lost. At other times, the second hand just simply stalls between the 6 and 7 o'clock area and has to be manually restarted. After reading reviews before I purchased, however, I knew this could be an issue. I bought the clock for the clock face and am prepared to replace the clockworks myself.

I was very disappointed - looked really nice in the picture but cheap in person!! It is just a piece of press board with a sticker/picture stuck to it - not Real wood!!!! The second hand when it didn't get hooked on the hour or minute hands would go to .45 and then fall back down to .30. We adjusted several times but we were never able to get it to work properly. I will be returning on Monday!!

Well, after reading countless reviews to see if anyone else had my problem, I saw many reviews of "Cheap clock," or "Doesn't work," and let me tell ya; just be glad you can make a review like that. My clock didn't even show up! I think I even ordered the dang thing early in October! I wouldn't know though, because I can't tell the time with no clock.

The colors are perfect. I like everything about this clock. It would be nice if it worked. Got it out of the box put a battery in it and nothing happened. I wouldn't recommend this clock.

Take a closer look at the words on the clock face and you'll see multiple typos. "Depdis" should be "Depuis" (since). There should be a space between "dela" (of the). And "Mangbr" should be "Manger" (eat). Annoyingly, the position of the second hand in the Amazon photo hides all these errors (they're visible in my photo).

Are you kidding me!!? Did I just get robbed!?I was anticipating something that looks like the pictures but instead I received something that looks to be a cheap imitation.The clock face is thick cardboard, the hands are flimsy materiel and loose, the back is not wooden but plain, the text in the face is blurry and looks poorly scanned, the battery port can barely fit an AA battery, and worst of all, it's not accurate!!I've purchased many many things on amazon, and this is the first time I feel sick to my stomach.

Clock did not work. Very noisy mechanism, then it failed, draining batteries overnight repeatedly. Would not recommend. Also, the face is simply a color computer print. Not recommended. No substance. No style.

Can't give the clock a review because can't get the clock to work. The clock I received requires a carbon battery and I haven't found a AA carbon battery yet.I tried Batteries Plus without luck. It was bought from the company as suggested by Amazon. Turns out to be in China without actual name or address available. Trying to find a solution. The clock looks great and I would like to keep it if I can make it work.
