I purchase this for my husband for Father 's day and he really enjoy it . it be very sturdy ; Darth can either stand or sit . he head be the snooze button for the alarm -lrb- you push it down -rrb- . the alarm let off beep that gradually get faster as it go off . it be not a super loud alarm -lrb- as some be -rrb- , so if you be a heavy sleeper this would not be a good choice . the clock and alarm be very basic , but I would expect most who be buy this be not do so for advanced technology . ; -rrb-
