We had to cut down a tree in our backyard and decided to put this in on the pedestal that we also bought. We planted flowers around the bottom of the pedestal and it looks gorgeous. Keeps perfect time too. A beautiful accent to the yard.

I put this in our garden with a sun dial on it. It looks very attractive and I would recommend this to a friend. I am very happy with my purchase.

This piece is just what I anticipated it would be--a conversation piece and a fine addition to the garden

We bought this sundial for my brother and his wife as a Christmas gift. As avid gardeners, we were surprised they didn't already have one. This sundial is the perfect addition to their garden and something they will enjoy for years to come. The surprise on their faces was proof enough for us that this was indeed a good purchase. Product is as described, but much heavier than we thought...very sturdy. No cons. This is a wonderful product at a good price. Thanks Sundial Station

I found it very well made .

looks cool and is on time

I just re did my shrubbery and the sundial fits in perfectly.

This was an anniversary gift for my husband. He's talked about a sundail for several years. Haven't put it in the back yard yet as we were doing some renovations, but look forward to doing so soon! Will look perfect on the deck on in the garden.

I placed it in my rose garden, and have recieved lots of complements. Everyone asks "where did you find this, I love it" one of the best purchases I've made. Love it..

I rate this sundial the maximum 5 stars, because it's the best one that I've found and tested. Best in terms of accuracy and solidity. This 16-inch diameter brass armillary sundial is solidly-constructed, beautiful, and it passes my accuracy-test. I expect a sundial to be accurate within 5 minutes. This brass armillary is the only sundial I've bought that hasn't failed that test. I must admit, however,that I've only tested it once, at one afternoon time of day. I've bought a number of sundials on the Internet. This is the one that I recommend, if your budget permits this large, heavily-constructed brass sundial. If your budget doesn't allow this sundial, then at least choose an armillary sundial. When shopping on the Internet, armillaries are the most reliably-accurate sundials. Where to use it? If you have a table or bookcase near an east, south or west window, you could set it there as a window-sundail. But its large size makes it fully suitable as an outdoor sundial for garden, yard, patio, etc. From what I've read in books on sundials, brass is fully weather-proof, and, if anything, will eventually merely acquire an attractive antique-looking patina. This sundial is quite solidly-constructed. An armillary sundial is a type of ring-equatorial sundial. They consist of several metal rings, for structural strength and convenience. One nice thing about this sundial is that, unlike many armillaries, the meridian circle and the hour-band aren't full circles, and so the meridian band wont't shade the hour reading around noon; and the upper (southern) side of the hour band is less likely to shade the hour reading, even on the day of the equinox. With other armillaries, when those things occur, they can be dealt with, and aren't a serious problem. But with this armillary, those problems don't even occur. In the event that, early or late in the day, the hour band does shade itself, that won't prevent a reading, except on the actual day of equinox. On other dates, there will be a sliver of illuminated hour band,
