This light fixture is elegant, simple, and extremely versatile. It works beautifully with both modern and traditional decor styles. We installed it in a 12 x 13 bedroom with 9-foot ceilings, and the size and scale are perfect for the space. The fixture hangs approximately 26 inches from the ceiling, with one rod installed which gives the room a sophisticated, elevated look without feeling overwhelming. I would not recommend adding any additional extension rods for a room with this ceiling height, as the fixture would likely hang too low. Putting the fixture together was very easy and only took about 10 minutes. However, I did end up hiring an electrician for the final installation because I had difficulty aligning the ceiling plate correctly at the top. Once installed, though, it looked absolutely beautiful. One of the best features is how bright the room feels with this light installed. It provides excellent illumination while still maintaining a warm and upscale appearance. Overall, this fixture adds a clean, refined touch to the room and looks much more expensive than it is.
