The metal is heavy with texture, and rustic looking.  The width of the metal is far better than others i have purchased and returned. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, the description is exact. The size is great you can put on thecwall as the main focal point or with a grouping of pictures. Makes sure you measure wherevyoubwantvto hang it. The measurements are exactly as stated on the Wayfair.com site.  I put mine on my entry wall.
