We are building a new house and we purchased this for the foyer.  We won't be installing it for a while, but I opened the package and it is beautiful. I would call it transitional design. I tend to prefer traditional style design, but this can fit with many different styles.  The "crystals" are glass and not plastic and that encouraged me to purchase it because I have mistakenly bought light fixtures before checking and were surprised to get plastic "crystals".  (cheap-looking).  I purchased the black.
