This is perfect for my dining room... it is a good size pendent - 12 inches at the base!  It has a glass bottom that you can choose to omit if you want, but it covers and diffuses the light which is nice and soft.  It has enough rods that you can adjust the height nicely.  I have 10 foot ceilings and I didn't have to use all the rods.  It arrived quickly and in perfect condition.  No instructions for installation, but that is typical of many lighting fixtures.  It even came with a bulb!
