I decided to use the chandeliers as pendants instead! LOVE them! As others have noted, the light reflects up and not down. So if you need it to illuminate below...another option might work better. We also have recessed lights, so it was not as important to us. The oversized pendants are just what the space needed! They give the best glow at night. Delivered quickly. Easy installation. It can easily be boho, beachy, farmhouse...very versatile!
