    We are too! We are looking at the rectangular version

    I don’t have the chandelier but I do have the PB Adeline accent lamp and it’s stunning. Well made. Just gorgeous. The companion lighting in this line is so beautiful and I’m assuming as well made as the lamp I have.

    I actually have the pendant lights and I love them! I don't want it to look too matchy matchy, but I think the pendants are really different looking from the chandelier, so I'm less worried about that. Mostly I just want to know if it's worth the $$$!

    Can anyone tell me how black vs bronze the mount is on the chandelier?

  • 6 years ago

    It reads pretty black

    Thanks!! Was it fully assembled?

  • 6 years ago

    Yes, you do not have to put the crystals on. The biggest pain was trying to get the wires as straight as possible, and they are still not perfect. But they give you sooo much wire you have to pull it through the top to make it straight. Overall I love the fixture though and I saw it was on sick sale yesterday!

    I just got mine and love it, however it's looking a bit like a disco ball. Has anyone else had a problem with this? What did you do?


  • 6 years ago

    wow no, I mean it reflects some but not that much. Try changing your bulbs to a lower wattage?

  • 6 years ago

    Right now there are two 25W bulbs in there because that was all I had on hand when it was installed yesterday. What wattage are you using?

  • 6 years ago

    wow, mine are event brighter, 60W. What kind of bulbs are you using? If it's "daylight" that might be the problem. maybe you need a softer light?

  • 6 years ago

    also put in the 3rd bulb, maybe it's unbalanced with one missing? I'd just keep experimenting

  • 6 years ago

    We are also looking at this light but a bit concerned about the "disco ball" issue. Any update of this? Has it been resolved?

  • 6 years ago

    Adding the third bulb helped a lot. I guess part of it was a balancing issue. We are using the lowest wattage too (25 W). Something that I have since figured out, and I wish someone had mentioned to me when I ordered from PB, is to consider the room you are putting it in. Our kitchen area is open so any reflection is extremely exaggerated throughout the kitchen which opens up to the den. If you have an actual dining room or any room with walls, I think this is ideal. I will upload pictures later tonight for you to see. We also plan on installing a dimmer so we have even more control although if we never did that, we would still be fine with it as it is now. Hope this helps!

    How noticeable are the wires that come down from the ceiling (the ones that aren’t black)? We are seriously considering this chandelier, but saw in some pics online that they look fairly noticeable. Can you take an up-close picture of the fixture? And are you happy with the purchase?

  • 5 years ago

    Here you go. Not that bad. The black wires are much more noticeable. Overall I love the fixture but I probably would go with a 4 bulb one instead of 3 if I had it to do all over again. More light in this space would have been better.

    I have a total of 10 pottery barn fixtures which are a combination of accent lamps (5), chandeliers (4) and a fan. All pieces are beautiful with great quality. I have three of the Adeline Crystal Ambient Accents lamps and they are gorgeous. I do not have an Abeline chandelier but I do have a flushmount Gemma (worked with my ceiling better) and it's stunning. No complaints with the quality or style with any of the lighting I've purchased. It's my best kept secret as no one I know has the same fixtures :)

    I just realized the original question is from an older post. Maybe my feedback will be helpful for anyone else on the fence.

  • 5 years ago

    Thank you! So helpful...I appreciate it!

    This light is so beautiful but I think we’ll have to return it after putting it up and seeing the reflections all over our walls. 😞



  • 5 years ago

    Holy moly! Yes that’s a lot of reflection. What bulbs are you using? They make 2 sizes, mine is the smaller one. Maybe it’s the big one that has the issue?

  • 5 years ago

    I just figured something out. The type of bulb makes a huge difference. Clear glass is waaay more reflective than frosted/soft white. So don’t use clear glass bulbs in this fixture if you don’t want the disco ball effect!

  • 5 years ago

    Does the chandelier take the "Thick" E26 Base, or the "Thin" E12 Base?








  • 5 years ago

    The normal candelabra base bulb

    I bought this two years ago. it is beautiful but impossible to clean. Any suggestions?

  • 4 years ago

    Funny you should say that. I was just noticing how much dust it collected. Unfortunately I think paying someone to do it is probably the best solution.

  • 4 years ago

    I need to buy about 7 of the adeline across my house. When will these go on sale? Anyone have an idea?

  • 4 years ago

    @HU-992748390 I bought this 5 years ago & had it in storage for the last year while waiting to move in to a new house. Yes, it was dusty but not terribly so. Before it was installed again, I sat it on a table, put on a podcast, took my time and cleaned each crystal with a cloth sprayed with Windex. It really didn't take that long and it looks fabulous. When it was hanging in my last house, I stood on my dining table & cleaned it periodically. My problem now is trying to lengthen the wires for the reinstall...I can shorten them, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to lengthen them!? Any one have a similar problem??
