This light is so beautiful. It’s industrial without being heavy and too masculine looking. The description and some of the questions answered said that you can not shorten the main pole it hangs from, but my boyfriend was able to cut it to fit over the island. If you don’t cut it the height is more appropriate for over a table. The thing that sold me on this light was being able to have 1 hole in my ceiling vs. multiple individual holes. Thanks again Wayfair!
