My ceiling is slanted, would this pole be able to be installed? Or does it only work for flat ceilings?

It has to fit snug and flush to the ceiling so I would say no. I wouldn't try installing it on a slanted ceiling. It could come down with you on it.

Now I don't have this one, but there is an adapter that you can get for slanted ceilings. If this is built the same as X-pole then it should work fine with it.

Krystal I don't believe this can be installed on a slanted ceiling , if you look online maybe there is an insert to put up or something to help it so that it can be for slanted ones too

You need a flat ceiling. It will work on popcorn ceilings with little or no damage for those who are researching this also.

I think you would need a flat ceiling or maybe you could shim it. I would check on the refund policy and see if you could make it work. Its worth it for the price.

Yes. my ceiling was sloped. i bought a down rod at Home Depot (I think it was 12")

As long as it's catching joists on either side ...I'd say it will work fine for angled ceilings.

Definitely. I have this fixture in my closet on a slanted ceiling. It's really pretty.

My fan is mounted on a flat ceiling so I can't help you on how it will do on an angled ceiling. (At minimum you will need a longer tube.) I did look into replacing the two 40-watt bulbs with LED ones, but the light socket has a candelabra base (i.e., small base) thus I was unable to find a LED bulb that has this type of base AND is dimmable.

I cannot answer theie of pole but I do have problems with mine tilting. Rebar reinforcement would be nice if it is hollow inside the pole.

Doubt that it would go flat enough unless you really want to point it to the ceiling. At it's lowest point it's angle is 7 inches upright.

According to the manufacturer you can do flush mount, straight drop down or "angled ceiling" mount. You should be good to go with a longer rod that you'll have to purchase separately.

No, it really needs to be a flat surface, parallel to your floor, as the pole is supported by pressure between floor and ceiling.

You got lot of answers here, some of them pretty good. All I can add to the discussion is: If you have high ceiling that pushes the installation to the outer edge of (alleged) capacity.... forget it... it will not be stable even with screws. Old houses with high ceilings may have mortar instead of wooden beams and sheet-rock... in that case answer is the same - forget it. Otherwise I agree, a tension supplied by adjusting the pole and some care in how you push on it when you use it (MOSTLY DOWN) makes it practical, ingenious workable solution.

Yes it can be mounted on an angled ceiling & I have LED Bulbs installed....

I used this product on a flat ceiling but , as with all the units I've installed, I do a simple , cheap add on that may work for you..... Use some PVC fittings ( I used a coupling and cap on the ceiling end of the pole. This may work for you with a liittle trial and error to figure out whether 1/2 " or3/4 " fittings would work best in your application. I used this product with success and happy with it..... I would buy again.

No, it wouldn't work. I did see some others on Amazon that were designed for pole mounting though.

I suppose you could get a longer pole to allow it to be attached to an angled ceiling. I did replace the candelabra bulb with what I think maybe is an LED candelabra bulb (more fluorescent looking light), but not sure, since the bulb that came with it is very dim. The new bulb is also dim-just not as much as the other. The bulb I bought was recommended by someone else on Amazon who replaced it. If you look through the reviews you should come upon his.

There is no reason that this would not work that I can see. That said I have seen fixtures meant for that duty and they are different. Be aware that these are the absolutely most flimsy fixtures that I have ever seen. They work fine, and I bought cheap and got it. My ceiling is not uniformly flat. The fixtures flexed such that they don't stay closed and I had to tape them shut. Really something else. But they work fine and were cheap.

the pole is good for up to an 8ft ceiling. I ran into an issue when moving to a new place with a 10ft ceiling. Remedied by purchasing a 10ft pole from the hardware store.

All I can tell you is that it MAY work -- but only if the light figure is not slanted. The product did not work for us because our ceiling lights are about 35' above the floor and are in fixtures that are mounted in a slanted church ceiling.
