Chefs Seaside Pendant Lamp - Small

I ordered two. They are beautiful, larger than I expected, sleek and substantial. But when I opened the boxes and inventoried the contents against the "what's included" list, there were parts missing, specifically, the uppermost section of the lamp (and associated hardware bits) that would connect it to a ceiling box. Also, the instructions said a professional electrician was required. Best I could tell, you could probably make do without the missing parts (the electrician could get substitutes), but for a lamp of this lovely style, the aesthetics at the ceiling level might be off. I decided I didn't want the hassle and returned them. If I was more motivated, I'd have taken the gamble.

nice lamp, ignore length. it comes with 4 extensions that screw together. just use as many as you need or leave them off entirely which is what i did with the 2 i bought for my 10ft kitchen/dining area

Contrary to other reviews, professional installation is not necessary for anyone with basic electrical knowledge. This light is very well designed except for the threads which attach the grid and glass covering the bulb. After numerous attempts to screw on the grid, we leveled the thread plate on the light fixture itself and finally were successful. The excellent quality of this light and its nautical design complement our seaside home.

The lamps are beautiful and heavy duty! I purchased 6 in bronze color and am very satisfied with the make, the style, and the quality. They are a little larger and a little taller than I thought they would be but they are very classy and I will make them work. Also there are several solid rods that the electrical cord fits through that hang off the ceiling, so you might want to check the minimum height of the lamp hang before purchasing this product if you do not have a high ceiling. The lamps are worth more than the price and I was thinking about buying more and selling them in the local paper. The lamp is nicer than the picture online. I am very happy with the purchases. Also, sierratradingpost has an excellent return policy if the lamps don't work for you just in case.

We got creative and were able to hang these in our not really tall ceilings, but it took several trips to the hardware store
