Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture is designed with an adjustable height feature, allowing you to customize the drop length to suit your ceiling height and room layout.

The putty-colored burlap diffuser acts as a filter, softening the light to eliminate harsh glare and creating a warm, diffused glow throughout the room.
The polished fruitwood is durable, but it should be kept away from high-moisture areas like bathrooms. Dust the slats periodically with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the finish.
The Carling Pendant measures 17 inches in diameter and 19 inches in height, making it well-suited for dining areas, entryways, or living spaces.
