Light is really cute. It is smaller than you think. Its measured from the top metal tip to bottom metal tip. The shade itself is only about 15. The end of the cord has a connector on it I dont understand but I bought a returned item so something is probably missing. The cord and chain are really long so I ended up cutting off the connector anyway. I made a bulb shade for it as it looked like something was missing since it just takes 1 little candelabra bulb. A little extra work but all in all, Im happy with my purchase.
