Lovely. A nice material. Has a rough-hewn finish. We have high ceilings and with the chain full length, it rests three feet above the table, which is what we read a dining light should be. Strangely, the length of the cord is longer than the max length of the chain. Take care to pick a dimmable or tinted bulb as a regular light bulb (we tried an Edison with a coated gold bottom) is glaring even with the dark interior. Recommend for the price!
