I am partly to blame for this but this fixture is WAY TOO LONG for a "normal house".  When we put it together there was only about 8 inches between the countertop and the fixture!  I guess by island fixture they mean if you have 15-20 foot ceilings!  Had to order a small size and sadly due to the reno we were in we are outside the return window by the time we realized it wouldn't work.  Love the look of the product so we just ordered one very similar.
