This is a very nice light.  I put it on a dimmer and I am amazed at the range of light.  Another feature is the length range of the pendants.  The length I used was 16 inches from the top of the light to the bottom of the pendant glass. I am still in the middle of my kitchen remodel,so my counter tops are not in yet. However, I can adjust the lights to match whatever length is best once everything is in place. You can see from my picture that have shortened the lights more than the amount given in the specifications.  I did have to tuck it in, but was not difficult. The only other observation is that the lamp shades do not fit tight, the are quite loose, but it is not a problem in stability nor looks.
