I bought this because it advertised it could be used as a chandelier or a flush mount, and we were looking for a flush mount that had a particular sized base (less than 6”) that would fit inside the moulding around our light box for the dining room. Beautiful once installed. Had some trouble with the wiring, everything was really long to accommodate the chandelier mode and was too much to fold up and stick inside the light box so I ended up cutting and striping them so they’d work for us. This was a bit frustrating, but I knew this was a possibility. I had contacted wayfair customer support before buying asking a) what size was the base for the flush mount and b) would I have to cut or remove anything. Unfortunately they didn’t have the answers but I took the chance anyway (the pictures online gave me some idea of what to expect). 

In summary, it’s a lovely chandelier but if you’re buying it as a flush mount you might run into some issues.
