This fixture is very small but fits perfectly over my kitchen breakfast bar.   It is not shiny, but rather is a brushed silver.   I actually prefer the brushed silver look!   We did have a small issue with the glass but Wayfair handled it quickly and we are very thankful we purchased this on Wayfair!   Kudos!!  

Pros: Exactly what we were looking for in a pendant light.
Cons: Packaging could have been better
