It was not as large as I thought it was going to be which I was happy about. It is a very nice solid piece. Got it to go over my reclaimed wood dinning room table. My home has a bohimian-english cottage feel with a bit of rustic feel and this is just perfect. Cannot wait to install. Have been looking for a while and knew I wanted a certain feel and the color was spot on. I am a very happy customer and would highly recommend.
