To enhance the dining application, did anyone try to cover the hanging wire with a chain? .. Suggestions? .. I want mine to not look cheap... Thanks!

I did not try a chain, but the cord is not what makes it look cheep. Personally, I wouldn't try a chain. Less is more! so I wouldn't call attention to it. Do use a globe light. Mine came out of round, which made it look cheep. Now that it has relaxed...it looks better.

Yes I did- you can buy the chain @ your local hardware or home improvement store. I used some fish line( which is invisible and helped hold it in place ) around the cord. Looks a lot better!!

It is over our kitchen table and looks great...BUT...even with a dimmer switch attached we find it too glary. I've been trying to find some sort of shield or baffle to block the direct light but haven't had any luck online. All the ones I've found are for light bulbs that face up or down, while these are horizontal.

You will need to go to the hardware store and purchase more black wire, electrical tape and additional black chain.........YOU WILL LOVE THIS item!! I have it in my home and two rental properties.

Sure, I hung mine using thin stainless steel cable. No worries, you just need to be creative on attaching them. BTW, these lights failed after about 6 months.

I had my handy man hang this chandelier and it was easy to do. I am looking at it now and it looks like you could run the wire up without the chain directly into your ceiling wire connection but I do not know how the rest of the chandelier would attach to your ceiling because the small piece at the top of the chandelier where the chain comes out has no way to connect to your ceiling. I would not advise it unless you are secure in your skills to attach the top of the chandelier to your ceiling secure enough to support the weight of the fixture. I love this chandelier and would advise purchasing it. It is a unique conversation piece. I had my handy man hang this chandelier and it was easy to do.

Seems like there was plenty of chain for us, but you could also get the right length at Lowes or Home Depot. The top and bottom are clip links. I like this fixture a lot. We also have it on a dimmer. Looks really slick and well-made. Hope this helps!

Someone on here had a great idea of hiding it behind a picture! Something I never though of but would even be easy in this respect to hide the wire in the wall if you are super OCPD. Worth a try!

I personally think there is not enough chain for ceilings that are 14 feet high. This is a small chandelier and may look very odd and too small with ceilings that high. I used mine in a guest room with 9' ceilings and it looks great! I hung it without the chain, though.

I bought an inexpensive white plastic chain from Home Depot and threaded the cord through it, attaching the last link to the base if the lamp. Looks great !

I believe it came with several feet of chain...I removed the chain and just used the hook to install at ceiling cap, as we have 8 ft. ceilings. Looks incredible!

Shouldn't be a problem. U can cut the chain and wires to any desirable length. It's very soft lighting with frosted glass cover so as an accent would be perfect.

No the chain is for ceiling mount but you could buy more decorative chain and make it work.

I also used it as a swag. I believe the chain is about 10 feet long, but I may have added some. I don't remember the details about the power cord, or even if it had one. I had to add a cord, because I wanted a little more length to reach the chosen socket and there was no switch. I added an external ground wire, twisted around the cord through the chain. I believe the fixture was originally only for two-wire. I did everything myself, but my memory isn't the best. I'm 77 years old. If I can make it work, you probably can too. We like the end result.

This is a matter of personal choice. It matters whether you will have the fixture directly over a table, or there will be people walking under it. If it's a replacement for an older fixture, you can get some idea by noting how many links the old chain has in it. Be sure to put something like electrical tape on the jaws of the pliers you're using to bend the link open and closed. You don't want to mar the finish! I used two pairs of pliers to do the job, but if you're strong enough you might be able to just use your hands. Good luck!

I think the picture is just poor resolution because it is a chain consisting of links about two inches long. It came with a generous length of chain so you can hang it at a height appropriate for you ceiling.

There are two triangle shaped hangers on the top of the light . I used wire ties and a wood rod. The light isn't very heavy and it worked fine.

We had a "handy-woman" friend hang ours and she used two tiny wood screws in the back of the upper frame, then ran picture hanging wire from one to the other. Not sure exactly what type of screw went into the wall, I think maybe one with a plastic anchor over it.
