It can be shortened. But, hanging this in a bathroom sounds pretty tacky unless, of course, you have mirrors over your bed, as well.

It can be placed above vanity but will give a heavy look as it is a chunky chandelier. Strings can be shortened but be careful as if not cut right lengths it will mess up the shape.

I don't think this would work above a vanity unless there is a three foot span between the mirror and the ceiling. I do not think it would be realistic to attempt to shorten the strings because there are so many of them and if they were not cut perfectly you would not have the precise pattern.

Yes, it can hang in a vanity in a bathroom and would like great there but the light cast is vertical (unlike most vanity mirrors that cast light from the wall) and so another light source may be needed if application of makeup will take place in the bathroom. The crystals could possibly be shortened but would take very exact measuring and significant work and would likely require crimping rings (like for jewelery making). The strings are attached with a tiny metal ring and are made to exact length to form the spheres on two levels.

Small crystals are prestrung, and PRE cut (length) you shouldn't shorten yourself.

While it may be possible I think you would have to be a master craftsman to do so. Each strand is terminated with a small loop and attached to an anchor on the fixture, and at the other end another loop for the large crystal. It seems to me that if you really need it a foot shorter you would just want to take a foot off the bottom, just eliminating the last spiral. I don't think it would be quite as impressive missing a foot in length.

I used this in my bedroom, I couldn't do a hanging chandelier due to a lower ceiling. It is beautiful, go for it!

This is a beautiful medallion and should be fine for your chandelier. However, because the size is measured from point to point it will not seem as large when it is installed as some other 28 inch medallions. So if your room is large you may want to go slightly bigger.

Without the crystals it's very lightweight ! Hang it first and then add the crystals ! I had been looking for a chandelier for over 2 years and when I saw this one ! It's truly a stunning piece!

I'm sure you could. Mine is mounted over my sink where my previous light was. It looks great! The switch is on the wall and I think it could easily go on a dimmer...like a regular light. I don't see why not. Hope this was helpful. ;-)

Mine, was connected @ flush mount fixture, although I think it could be hanged @ light fixture, honestly I don't recommend that because the chandelier it's to heavy.

In the master bath we used Moen brushed nickel 9" towel bars(Method YB2486BN) & pivoting toilet paper holder and Umbra flip 3-hook wall mount all purchased from Amazon. The lighting is a combination of recessed and Lowes 3-light. In the guest bath The lighting was also from Lowes and the towel bars were from Target. I suggest waxing the faucet where the water comes out and wiping it dry after use to avoid water spots, especially if you have hard water like we do. This faucet does require more maintenance than a regular style, but we get lots of compliments and love the look! Wish I could post photos to show you how great everything goes together.

We put the light in our bedroom, only 8 ' high ceilings. I took a large amount of chain off. I think there was enough chain for you put it lower over a table. I enjoy the light. I guess you could always return it if it is NOT long enough for a high ceiling dining room. Good luck.

The light can hang down from the ceiling as low or as high as you would like. There are three extension pieces of different sizes: You can use one or you can use them all. I don't have the exact dimensions of the pieces but I used only a combination of two of them and it worked perfect for us. I hope I answered your question! Good luck.

I also have 9' ceiling and it is hung over my dining table. It doesn't look too short. I don't think you can hand the crystals lower.

I love this fixture. I have two over my island in my kitchen. I used round light bulbs similar to the bulbs you see used around bathroom lighting strips. After you see the opening size you can see the exact style. I had them in my supply of light bulbs. This fixture is beautiful. You will be able to find the bulb easily

No, it wouldn't be good as the only light source in a large room. I have mine in an average sized bathroom.

The one thing that I don't like is that the hanging wire is exposed. I was looking for a cover over it. I am in new construction, so can put anything - even a wire cover over. I have found a curtain rod that will fit over the wire and hope that will work. Unfortunate that it is such an great light fixture and the wire is exposed!

We have a breakfast bar too, but no cabinet above it. The one thing that might bother you is seeing the actual light fixture if you're going to be eating right under it. It's not pretty especially since you have to attach the adapter right next to it. If you have a lightrail around your cabinet, you may not see it (needs to be at least 1.5"), and would definitely look great. The light is very pleasing to the eyes, we use it in the morning all the time, as opposed to regular recessed lighting. Also at night it makes for a pretty cool night light! Did I mention the lights don't get hot?

I don't think there should be any problem. I love my chandelier. I have it set on one of those switches that you can change the intensity of the light (very romantic). In the morning, the light streams on the chandelier and delivers rainbows to the opposite wall. ¡Andale Carlos...compralo! You will enjoy it.

Agree with everyone's comments. I think it would look nice in a bathroom but it might not be bright enough due to the frosted cover. I have it in my small hallway in my condo and the light comes out thru the sides. I love the look of it though!
