This does not have the usual look of the big box stores' pendants, as it is not shiny-shiny and the focal point of your room, but rather is classic in design and has an understated elegance to it.  I ordered two to place over an island that separates the kitchen from the family room and it ties the two together perfectly.  It provides good light when needed and subtle romantic light when in the mood.  It looks like the picture and fits the description.  Would definitely recommend to a friend
