I really like these pendant lights, in the description it doesn't tell you if you have to use them at 47-1/4 inch but we took a gamble hoping that you wouldn't and they come in 3 sections so they can be made shorter. We use them above an island counter in the kitchen and if they were 47-1/4 they would almost touch the counter (we have 8 foot ceilings). We left out a pole on both of them and the look beautiful!! We bought all of the hardware house oil rubbed bronze items to match we love them so much!!

I installed two of these lights to replace some dated fixtures. The neutral style allows them to fit in easily to my decor. The design allows you to use none to three extensions, so the drop height is adjustable. I used one, which was perfect in my installation location. Installation was easy, although the instructions were not complete clear.

We bought 2 of these pendant lights to replace the tacky brass fixtures that came with our house. We are very happy with the new look at such a good price. The reason I did not give these fixtures 5-stars is because of the quality.

One of the lights did not have the correct threads in the base where it attaches to the ceiling so I had to modify it to get it mounted. The other one was fine from the factory. It is also worth noting that the straight sections do not match up very well because of the way they are connected, so this makes them visibly crooked. We tried every combination of the extension sections just to make sure, but they all did the same thing. It is crooked enough that it bothers me (since I was up close during the install), but not so bad that other people would really notice at normal viewing distance (Vaulted ceiling mount). You will not have any problems if you only use one extension section, it is where the sections meet that causes the angle.

The color is actually just a dark grey with a sloppy application of copper color around the part above the shade. This is probably one of the ways they keep the cost down. The more expensive fixtures at Lowes have a more detailed finish applied. We bought the grey hammer finish Krylon spray paint to use on our other ceiling mounted fixtures and they are a near perfect match to these pendant lights. I would definately buy again because of the price and considering the low quality fixtures I am replacing anyway...Anything is an improvement!

received items as promised. a piece was missing so they mailed me a replacment. they look great.

I bought this for my rental, this is really pretty but the one problem that I have with this pendant is the fact that if you have any type of slope on your ceiling there is no way to adjust for the slope of the ceiling. I really wish that there was a screw hinge to compensate for any adjustments.
For the price I am really happy with my purchase, and it really does look beautiful.
