It is about 7 ft tall, I have an 8ft ceiling. The light covers have holes in the tops that make a snowflake or daisy looking pattern on the ceiling when the light is on. It’s really pretty. It was easy to put together, but definitely need two people to assemble it and one needs to be tall or have a stepstool. I would have liked LED bulbs included, but just regular candelabra based bulbs were included. It comes in 3 parts, the base, the metal pole, and the arched lights.
