The photos don't do it justice. They are nicer in person! Will definitely be buying some more as gifts.

Well designed. Well packaged,. I love repurposed crafts with history, and this hour glass will surely be a treasure for a relative who collects "time pieces."

Never received my hourglass and this company offered no help in obtaining them besides saying go to your local post office. Only picture I can put up is am extremely annoyed face.
We are sorry you were unable to locate your hourglass! Unfortunately since you forgot to include your apartment number when you placed your order we have no way of tracking it down, which is why we suggested contacting your local post office. They are supposed to scan packages when delivered so that's the best way to locate it.

This timer is perfect for our games of Rummikub. It keeps good time and it’s rustic look is a lot nicer to have out on the table than it’s plastic relations. Maybe I will start a collection!

I pressed six of these as client gifts and when they arrived, only one end (the skinnier end) was capped in pewter.
They are super light and a bit inexpensive looking.
When I contacted customer service to ask why they weren’t as shown, they stated that every piece is unique. I think it’s wrong. It was too much to send all six back so I kept them. But I don’t feel great about giving these to my clients as gifts. Very disappointed.
I'm sorry you are unhappy with the hourglasses! Per the email I sent you: 'Because of how these frames are sourced, from old cotton factories, every batch we receive is slightly different (in this case only one end was wrapped in pewter, sometimes the wood is darker or lighter etc)'. We have similar wording on the product pages for the bobbin hourglasses as we understand it's hard to purchase items online when they aren't mass produced to look identical. The weight is actually more a function of the glass itself as there's not much sand in them to give them weight. I hope your clients like them!
