Your builder is full of YOU KNOW WHAT. The pendants are too high. No more than 40 inches from the BOTTOM of the fixture to the counter top. Even with 11 foot ceiling height. To fix, you need them down get them re wired and re installed. Or re select and sell those you have depending what you paid.

The dining room fixture will be fine.,,,,,,,once the table is in place, you'll have 36 inches to the table top. Anything from 32 to 36 is fine, especially given ceiling height.

I agree and your builder should not be making those decisions anyway.

Thank you both. The designer pointed out we needed larger pendants due to the size of the island and suggested these pendants, we agreed, and the cost was folded into the cost of the house. So if we insist they need to lower the pendants, do I have to absorb the cost of the pendants? Or can they order wires and chains from the manufacturer?

Thank you, again! I feel much more confident going back to our builder.

Hello, they are too high , in order to get them down just buy chains and rewire. You can look for chains in a hardware store or ina eshop. This is not a complicated work. So stand out for your rights

No advice but wanted to say I love everything! Beautifully done. That would be my dream kitchen!

Agreed it should NOT be a big deal to add chain and wire. They’re beautiful pendants and look great with everything, love your kitchen so much!
