These plush mats are the most comfortable mats you'll ever experience.
When you step off the mat you will expect to see a noticeable foot impression but, the mat looks like it is brand new and has never had anyone step on it. Amazing.
Terrific quality and this mat has the five star look, which will enhance the appearance of any bathroom.
Pros: Appearance, Quality
More than a handsome timepiece, our Oxford Outdoor Clock with Thermometer displays the current temperature and humidity in a multidimensional fashion that's easy to read. Large, laser-cut Roman numerals announce the time, while the bi-metal coil thermometer and hygrometer measure the outside temperature and humidity.
Quartz timing mechanism
Hygrometer displays humidity levels
Molded hanger on back of clock provides easy display
Rich brushed copper finish over iron alloy frame; clear glass front
Clock will not mold or mildew, but finish will fade over time when placed in direct sunlight
Clean with mild soap and water; use glass cleaner for the lens
Requires one AA battery (not included)
Note: Freezing Temperatures can affect battery performance. The use of lithium batteries is recommended.

This very large clodk works beautifully in our back patio. The large size allows it to be seen from a considerable distance away. The copper color appears to nicely match out copper roof and rain gutters. My only hesistation is the question of durability. It is a copper plate over steel. If it was made out of solid copper, it would rightly last for ten plus years. But, being simply copper plated and then clear coated, durability is the unknown. Accordingly, because I love the look of the clock, I purchased two so that I would have a replacement when the original ultimately breaks or wears out.
Pros: Appearance, reads easily
Cons: unknown durability

Rooster Hand-Hooked Wool Area Rug
We ordered the 2'6"X4' in black. It was quite a lovely rug but, within short order the leading edge began to unravel. This seems strange since we have many area rugs that have lasted thru generations so I know it is not us but rather the rug that failed.

Perhaps we just received an odd rug and this failure was isolated in nature rather than a general failure of the entire lot of thess rugs?

Rust-proof
It says "weather-resistant". What about rust-resistant?
No, it is not rust-proof.
This type of material is generally quite susceptible to rusting in damp or humid climates.
Rust will quickly deverlope if this clock is scratched or chipped in any manner.
The inside bottom lip is the first place that you should expect rust to start developing if water can get behind your clock.
Rust can be slowed by annual respraying of a clear coat spray paint such as Rustoleum (either gloss or satin). With annual respraying, the closck should last five or more years.
