Customers praised this zebrawood hourglass as "an object of great beauty" with "outstanding" craftsmanship. The zebra wood quality and workmanship consistently exceeded expectations. Shoppers highlighted exceptional customer service, including help with engraving and shipping. One noted occasional sand flow issues during winter due to static electricity.
I was looking for something attractive and out of the ordinary to add to my living room decor. But I was also looking for something American Made, because I am sick of everything indicating Made in China. I paid a lot more for this one than I would have paid for something made elsewhere, but fortunately I am in a position where I can "put my money where my mouth is" as we say around, when it comes to buying American Made. I experienced what I thought was an issue with it...occasionally not all of the sand will fall to the bottom half of the globe. I emailed customer service and got a prompt, friendly, courteous reply, telling me that the static electricity in homes during the cold, dry winter months could cause that, and I should wait until after winter to see if it resolves itself. If it doesn't they will send me a replacement globe. So that's what I'm doing...not very patiently waiting for spring time when I can turn off the heat, open the windows, and enjoy the fresh air...and hopefully free-flowing sand from the top half to the bottom half of the globe.
My wife said what she really wants for her birthday is more time; so I thought of buying her an hourglass. We drove up to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada for her birthday and when she opened the present she was delighted with laughter upon unwrapping the hourglass. She really likes her "Time in a bottle". The craftsmanship of the zebra wood was greatly to her liking.
I purchased this to remind me of how precious our time is. Nearing the end of my life, I find myself spending time on pointless activities (worry about election, spending time on twitter, etc). Turning the hourglass reminds me to spend my time on what is most important (such as playing with my dogs, playing the piano).
The zebra wood and the workmanship are outstanding.
Thanks to the artist and to justhourglasses for this.
Product was great, but the customer service was even better! Shannon emailed me back and forth to work out the details for engraving and shipping. Of course I was late, so she helped me expedite the process to make sure I had it in time for my anniversary! Highly recommend!
The zebra wood is gorgeous! Every hourglass I have bought from Justhourglasses has been spectacular and packaged well! Thank you for helping me fulfill my husband's dream!
The zebra wood hourglass surpassed my expectations. This was purchased as a gift for my bosses office and I can’t wait for him to see it. Thank you for the beautiful product!
This hourglass is beautiful. I love the zebra wood and my husband loves his gift.
I bought this for my boyfriend and had both sides engraved. The quality of the wood is excellent and the metal spindles make it spacious and brings your focus to the bulbs and sand. It is a gorgeous and well-made hourglass. Additionally, the customer service I had in ordering the hourglass and getting the engraving done according to my wishes was excellent!
Excellent, prompt, friendly customer service. The quality was superb. Very happy with the purchase!
Beautiful hoursglasses & outstanding service
