Know before you buy

Yes, the fixture includes a 6-foot chain, allowing you to adjust the drop height to suit your ceiling height and room proportions.

The linen shades can be gently dusted with a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum brush attachment. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as these can damage the fabric texture.
