I have fallen in love with this piece. Everytime I drive by our courtyard when leaving, I smile because of it. Now, the “barrels” are bigger than expected, and the chain is longer than others I’ve seen/ purchased elsewhere as gifts. This one is nice- just different than expected. My husband was able to de-link the "extra" so, it's actually cool that it's longer -there's probably someone who needs it longer than we do, and I would be bummed if it had been too short :)
