Very please with quality and price. Have not had contractor install it yet. The ceiling is not that high and I am using this over a kitchen sink... did not want the light in my eyes so we will not be using the down rods - which are threaded at both ends, the shortest being 6". Instead we will thread the electric cord directly thru the ceiling plate.  If height is an issue remember  to add the height of the ceiling plate and the crown of the light when calculating.
