We love this light and have gotten a ton of compliments on it! After searching for something that could be hung in a smallish dining room with a high ceiling, I was so happy to find this pendant light.  I needed something narrow but with a nice footprint and this suits perfectly.  We used one extra set of extension rods so that it hangs at the right height, added a dimmer switch and used round clear bulbs for an update.  For reference, the top of the light is 32 inches from the ceiling, and the bottom of the light  is 72 inches.  The color is a brushed dull gold.
