It's difficult to know for sure the actual dimensions of a lights height. They don't take the measurement from the 'hung' positon, but from a portion of the light they consider to be whole. We hung this one and the site spec's list the height at 23.1/4. At it's shortest height it is actually 29.5". The site dimensions aren't taking into account the top ring, 1 link and ceiling mount required for it to hang.

Take this into account when looking at any light online. They mean the actual light, not when it's hung - which is the measurement shoppers are looking for.

Unfortunately, it is really too long for our room but too late to return it. When your lights arrive, put them up right away so your options are open. NO matter how visually inclined you are, it can be difficult to determine the hanging height by holding them up.

Also, this light is best hung where it can be viewed from the side.
The bottom is all you see if it's not viewed from the side and the bottom of this one is quite unexciting. Ours was intended for the front foyer where it was alarmingly boring so we moved it to the top of the stairs. Both this one and the flush mount in the same style had bottom pieces that don't sit level inside the shade. It tilts and cannot be be fixed with any amount of tweeking. It's not as perceptible once it's hung, but if you are a perfectionist it may always bother you.

It does go well with dark hardware though. It picks up the dark bronze door handles nicely.

This light fixture is beautiful. It makes the room. We are renovating our living room and and I'm looking at the chandelier for that room. You won't be disappointed.
