Do you think it would be possible to shorten this chandelier a foot or so from the top? How are the crystal strands fastened to the plate?

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 hung mine from an 8 ft ceiling so only needed a small amount of chain. Maybe the supplier can provide extra, or since it is black, maybe extra can be purchased at a hardware store. It really is a beautiful fixture. Good luck

It 's hung by the traditional chain and the plug is vey long so that you can reach an outlet. I can 't remember, but I thought the grounding wire is twined in with the plug. The ceiling mount was able to slide along the cable and wires , so you could adjust how short or long you wanted to install the chandelier.

I did it; but it requires some SERIOUS diss-assembly. I'd never do it again because the plastic ends break. Then you end up with a fixture with lots of tape to hold it together. I recommend using the chains, just get it close to the ceiling as you can.

We put ours in the dining room, where the ceiling height is 10 feet. Actually, using only the existing chain, the lowest crystal is approx. 6 feet from the floor. In my opinion, unless your ceilings are higher than ours, the chandelier would not look right if it were on a longer chain. I used only 2/3 of the crystals provided, and it is a very striking focal point for the entire room.

Yes, you can take as many links out of the chain as you need to adjust the height. It really is a gorgeous chandelier for the price

You can adjust the length of the chain so that's no problem. I think it would be really cute for that. Someone commented that they bought it for their closet. We have it in a small guest bedroom and have lots of comments about how nice it looks. Does require lots of assembly of the crystals but we think it was worth the time spent.

You could adjust it but it doesn't come with adjustable cables so you could buy the cable wire which wouldn't cost much but to get the sparkle effect it prob needs to be near the lights which is in ceiling box

You can shorten the overall height of the fixture by removing links of the hanging chain.

Yes, the length is adjustable. You can remove links, utilizing pliers. The chandelier is nice quality. The arms are glass and chrystals are nice, not cheep looking. Hope this helps. Warm regards, Mona

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.

Certainly , you may have to extend the length of the support chains that are supplied with the light. You may have to go to a lighting, hardware or big box store and get much longer suspension chains to offset the additional height of an angled or cathedral type ceiling.

I haven't assembled mine yet but I'm familiar with the way its built. If you could go with a light weight chandelier you would be fine. They make some nice geometric shaped ones out of paper and plastic. Maybe direct the light onto them for effect. I wouldn't go much past 10 pounds suspended. They just aren't built for much past supporting itself.

You could but I don't recall seeing a blanking plate for the lamp housing for a nice tidy finish. Check on the Hunter website or give them a call. The height would be around 13.5" from the ceiling.

Lynette, I bought this chandelier and love it. I get all kinds of compliments. I don't have the exact measurement of the chain with me at work. However I can tell you it is plenty long. I had to reduce it by over two feet. You can purchase a ceiling medallion at any of the big box stores for under $10.00. Hope you enjoy the product as much as I do

It's pretty long I don't know exactly how long but I had to zip tie mine all up because I didn't want to cut it. It is a great chandelier though I love it!!!

Hi, Julie. It's hard for me to figure out because I bought the chandelier for our daughter who lives in another state. She put it in her bedroom... it looks stunning and adds beautiful sparkle to the whole room. I think it would be lovely over a long table. If I were you, I would do as Debbie suggested and hang something over the table that is comparable in size to see what you think.
