I love how these look in our back hallway. They are easy to install and the length of the downrod can be changed to meeting your needs. I kept mine short for this application. I also did not use the diffuser glass because we like them better open with a fancy bulb.
Cons: if you assemble in one size and decide to make it shorter you are going to have a heck of a time getting all the various connector pieces apart. Also, the paint jobs are inconsistent. Some pieces of one light had more black showing thru than others. I had to mix and match between the 4 lights I had ordered to get 2 mostly matching lights.
