say what? Who told you that? too many rods? please expand?

I think the issue is that there are multiple (3+) joints connecting the rods. Our designer let us know they just had trouble hanging them in another house and that’s how she explained it.

Hmmm well I’m not sure they would be making it up because my designer knows how long it takes me to make decisions! Do you have any suggestions? I’m looking for something classic but a little more modern (If that makes sense).

i worked in lighting for 12 years, and i own that pendant. im just confused by that statement. More context, what is your ceiling height?

And yes they are non functional for working light. Do you have the drawing, or a mood board from the designer? that would help a lot in lue of photos.
