It looks better than the picture. Others have said it was small but it is just a tad bit smaller than the one I had. It also depends on the bulbs.  Clear ones are much brighter.  This sits over an 8 seat table in a huge open room and it is bright enough and I'm using 25 watt bulbs. You can use 40 watt. It's all metal except the crystal points. French country is how I would describe it.
