Has anyone installed a light either below or on top? I'd like to display some pottery and hoping glass shelves allow sufficient light flow.

I have not done that, but I am sure you would be able to and I am also sure it would look lovely. Best of luck. I love the rack!

I have not installed any lights, but doing so is a great idea! The framework of the unit itself is delicate and the glass shelves are large, so they shouldn't block light at all. My only concern would be how to install a light so that it doesn't look ugly. Good luck; I'd love to see your finished project!

There is no top or bottom but if you hang the light 30" above the top of your table ( as it should be) you do not see the lights.I am very happy with this light. It is over a small dining room table. I wouldn't put it over a very large table. There's a bit of a trick to level it though. It's very cool.

That's EXACTLY what I did.Works like a charm.We've had it for a while now and love it. They've been flawless and throw a nice, subdued in and under-the-cabinet light.

Install the fixture first and then the globes. You have to kind of put the globes on like a puzzle. But, it is worth it because it is a beautiful fixture.

I would add the ones on top and bottom before, might be a little hard after. The ones on each candle base you just slip in so not hard to add after. Plus they add on a lot of weight to the fixture overall

Yes I can and I have a decorative pitcher on mine. Books are on three shelves (hard cover) and a Hagar lamp on another. I really likethis piece and it went together easily (for me).

Hi, I would put plants on this cautiously. I would not put anything very heavy; might be suitable for a 4 inch pot or a little larger on the bottom shelf. I had my husband look too and he feels the same, it would hold smaller plants and pots but not large pots with lots of dirt. Also, I would fear damage to the finish on the shelves, it would need to be sitting on something very protective. That being said, this is a beautiful piece, I have a small lamp and Longaberger baskets on it, but nothing heavy. The scroll work is very lovely and I get lots of compliments on it.

We have the shade turned up, but you can do the shade down. I think the shade is screwed in and then the light bulb holds it in place too. I won't swear to that. I love the look of this light, it gives a warm glow and looks beautiful in our hallway.

This would be ideal! You wouldn't have to worry about screwing in, could use sticky pads & they would stay! I needed under cabinet lighting just not bright enough for that , you just gave me an idea!

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.

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.

I agree with the previous answer, the light is minimal. If you had them on either side of you path and spaced pretty close, probably every foot or two you might have enough light. Cool idea, but no sure if these are the right choice.

I partially assembled the chandelier, then hung it in a location where I could reach and finish it. There are small parts (hoops) to attach the crystals so eye level is best.

The glass slides down and is held by part of the metal frame at the bottom. I imagine you could mount it sideways, but the bulbs would be visible as the top side is not enclosed

If you mean space between the top of the table and where the little edging on the top shelf ends, there is some space -- maybe a power cord could be glued or something to the inside against that little strip of wood. The glass is a little opaque and the glass panel doesn't stretch the entire length of the wood top - so, the glass panel fits into a cutout in the wood of the top. Whether a light would be seen depends on where you add the light, I suppose. Does that make sense?

I do. I just removed the fastening points and allowed the light fixture to sit directly on the glass. (They are adjustable and/or removeable) If you have a canopy, it also comes with cables to suspend it.

Linda -- I've just added several images of this light that is currently hanging in our dining room. We love it! As other posters have said, it's got a frosted glass bottom. If you like the idea of how the light looks, I think you'll be very happy with the purchase. It's better in person than we expected based on the product listing. Anyway, I hope the images I posted were helpful (they should be available after Amazon's brief review / approval period).
