I'm not sure where they get 84" - mine measures 92" from floor to top of the lamp shade - barely fit in my room. Love the design and that it is all metal.  Though you can bend the lamps outwards, they do not bend downwards.  The lamp shades do bend from side to side so that you can angle them to suit your needs.  Went together pretty easy, although the instructions are not very good.  Only thing I want to change is the light bulbs - don't like the yellowish light.  Good value and happy with the purchase.
