Howard Miller Kentwood Alarm Clock

No assembly is required. The clock arrives ready to use, and a single AA battery is included to get you started immediately.

The alarm features a standard electronic beep. It is designed to be audible enough to wake a light-to-moderate sleeper without being jarring or overly aggressive.

The clock features high-contrast black numerals against a white dial, making it easy to read in daylight. However, please note that it does not have a backlight or glow-in-the-dark features, so it will be difficult to read in a pitch-black room.

The clock uses a standard quartz movement. While it is not marketed as a silent sweep movement, the ticking sound is very faint and generally not noticeable in a typical bedroom environment.

The clock is compact, measuring 5.5 inches high, 4.25 inches wide, and 1.5 inches deep. Its small footprint makes it ideal for a nightstand or a small desk without taking up valuable surface space.

The clock features a high-gloss Rosewood Hall finish on select hardwoods and veneers. It is durable for standard indoor use, though you should avoid placing it in direct sunlight or areas with extreme humidity to preserve the wood's luster.
