Deco 79 Contemporary 5 Minute Smooth Review

I collect hourglasses/hourglasses so I'll always enjoy them! It is small and the time runs out at 3 minutes and 30 seconds. But it is very nice :)

I bought this as a Christmas present for my son and it arrived with no visible damage in the packaging. However, when he opened the gift, it literally fell apart. The rings holding the hourglass to its stand have come loose. This left us with four independent parts that were no longer assembled. The glass itself is not broken. The quality of the goods is VERY low, don't waste your money!

They looked beautiful, exceeded our expectations and delighted the winners! Plus it was delivered on time! I highly recommend it! Roma Carey

I finally contacted them in January and said I was unhappy that my item was broken prior to arrival. They contacted me immediately and said they would send another one the next day. During this time they kept in touch with me about my topic. They contacted me and told me it would arrive in a few days. I received…

This item has good reviews so I figured it would work. No, that is not so. I'm wondering if I received the same product as other reviewers when I bought it in July 2013? Photos for this show a four bar element around the hourglass, but sometimes three bars and a pattern are shown on the top disc. I didn't have either - I had three posts and there was no drawing at the top. So you obviously change products and/or manufacturers. The product was falling apart when I opened the Amazon box. Thin…
