It's really big. And not shiny - more of a flat, brushed gold. Almost a matte finish. I measured for it but it is still too big. I did not return it as I missed the return window but I will replace as soon as I can as we don't care for it at all. Also, the set screws on two of the arms are stripped so we cannot tighten them to stay where we want them and they just flop and hit the ceiling.
