These are beautiful and a very nice quality.  I bought 3 of them for our upstairs hallway and they look great.  We do have 10 foot ceilings so if you have low ceilings, these probably won't work because they do hang down.  As you can see in my picture, the fixture 'lands' just above the door frame.  I included a picture of our 'old' light and our beautiful new light:)  

PS. Couldn't figure out how to rotate the pictures, so you have to look at some sideways:(
