Trouble installing - screws that attach round base to the metal bar on the ceiling seem to be too long, creating a gap between ceiling and the round base. Any solutions?

I thought it was just me, I have the same issue. I'm sorry I don't have a suggestion for a solution, I'm hoping my brother-in-law who is electrician will be able to help me this weekend.

I ran into the same height discrepancy - BUT - I discovered you can install the fan directly to the base WITHOUT using the 7" tall riser. The slots in the base are in the correct places, but you just use two of the thumbscrews instead of three (there are holes already in the correct places in the base (and don't use/eed the screw with the big knob on it). Also makes the fan much more stable. Not sure why this assembly option is not mentioned in the manual, because it was obviously intended as an option.

there is a hole drilled in the glass that holds the shelf to the bracket, so they can't be moved. I have a problem with some of my larger components that have thicker cables/bigger connectors behind them. I am considering going to a Glass place and having them just cut me a larger shelf from glass that looks the same. Another option, for the connectors at least, is mounting a piece of 2x4 to the stud, then mounting the wall mount to the 2x4, giving me another 1.5" behind the components to work with. If I cut it to the right size and paint it with a flat black paint I think it will blend right in.

I screwed the crossbeams to the supports from the top. Two on each side. I used extra screws - I felt one was not enough.

I suggest reshaping it using a vice or a couple pairs of vice grips to make the base as flat as possible. I actually saw those tabs off with a hack saw which decreased the stability of the base. I've since bought another knob. It sucked too. I put parts from two knobs together to make one good one.

I had them installed for me. And your right they did have some trouble also. They are up and I do like the lamps I have used them in two rooms andthey work well. I believe it was the wall bracket bar that the lamps screw into that he had to adjust. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

1.) There are no installing instructions 2.) Google/YouTube are your friend (ie. Search for interdesign bathroom bar installation 3.) If you cant figure it out by looking at this basic design....welll I hope you dont have basic tools at your home as you might hurt yourself.

The most important thing to do is make you sure find studs to drill/screw into. Personally, I used Tapcon (blue) screws, but most screws that are at least 2 inches in length with some decent threads on them should do the trick. Good luck and happy swinging!

I pushed the bars in as far as I could at the top. However, with a little careful cutting the top rail could be shortened about 6" more since the top bar overlaps the vertical bars by about 3" on each side. I plan to do that and use set screws to fasten the sliding extension pieces firmly in place.

Bar is predrilled so you would have drill a hole for the bolt that connects the bar to the bracket. Also need to make sure you mount the bracket to stud or rafter. 45 in doesn't sound like standard spacing. Good luck.

I would recommend using a spacer, perhaps even using a layer of mounting tape to get the lower side lined up.

No, either the nut is missing or the holes aren't tap correctly if you use the extension bar. This is for lower bolts that attaches to the ceiling bracket. I'm returning mine. The instruction is horrible and there is no customer service telephone number I can locate. NOT RECOMMENDED.

Initially had the same problem and was able to solve it two ways. First, make certain bar is apart against wall as far as it can go without damaging wall (or stud). Second, find screw in the middle of the bar and tighten it quite tightly to prevent rotation of bar. If this does not work, I suggest replacement or refund.

There is a half inch overlap from the end of the wood to the screw holding the planks together. Your problem would be the brackets - they are quite thick. I'm measuring 32" from bracket to bracket. Hope this helps!

I agree with the previous poster. You need a ceiling mount that will cradle it. It will not attach directly to many of the ceiling mounts on the market that bolt in.

I like Terrence's answer. However, I must have had long stems so I used the original flange against the wall then the escheution followed by the handle. I had to cut off part of each flange nearest the handle and get longer screws.

Okay J - Thank you so much! I am a visual learner and I had no idea how those metal things attach/clip, whatever and if it is hanging from the ceiling already, I guess it's not for support, but just to: Raise The Curtain if you will. Got it. Thanks
