INACCURATE DESCRIPTION**BE AWARE**
By Qwho51
If you are thinking of purchasing this item be aware that this item is not **POLISHED BRASS** 98% is green distressed. The title is misleading and I returned mine to Amazon. Just be aware. OK?

Better than Expected
By Tina
This was heavier and more substantial than I expected. My sister aged it with a little paint and put it on a pedestal in her front yard. It is beautiful!!! Now I want one too!

Beautiful Armillary in solid brass.
By Jurek R. Zarzycki
The Rome RM1336 armillary arrived well packaged and undamaged, with fairly decent instructions for assembly. One of the instruction sheets is printed with a super small print on a dark piece of paper the size of a large postage stamp - why? I have no idea.The assembly was very easy, but some of the fasteners were way too long and now they protrude needlessly from the piece, subtracting from the otherwise flawless look. I will have to shorten them somehow. Some fasteners were philips-type and some slotted. Why? All the pieces seem to be from solid brass, so there should be no ugly rust streaks later. The main piece fits somewhat loosely into the mounting slot and needs a lot of torquing on the tension bolt to keep it from wobbling. I suspect that it will need occasional re-torquing.The spacing between hour markers seem quite accurate. The set up instruction recommends doing it "at noon" without regard to local time and summer savings time. My recommendation is to find out from your friendly astro-fanatic friend the exact time of the sun crossing the meridian on the day you will be setting it up, and then set the shadow of the arrow shaft on the XII.The attached instructions do not mention that sun dials show "local time" and not the Standard Time, which may make them seem inaccurate.
