I modified the chandelier to fit my ceiling. I increased the stem length to 18.5 - not an easy task mind you. The rod that I used was originally a scrap- chromed, unknown use-rod at a local hardware store. Sanded it with 300grit to increase adhesion and painted it antique bronze with a little Rust-Oleum. I had to build a spacer out of wood to adjust for ceiling angle.  I just wasnt into the chain-hanging option, Westinghouse ought to come up with a retro kit for this model. Now perfect!
