- Can the arms really be rearranged?
- Yes. The blackened brass arms rotate, so you can fan the six shades into a line over a long table or gather them over a round one. Set the layout before final wiring so the canopy sits centered.
- What kind of bulbs does it take?
- It uses six standard screw-base bulbs, and the open rattan shades leave the bulbs visible. Warm, lower-output bulbs suit the look better than bright cool-white ones.
- Will it light a dining table well enough to eat by?
- It gives soft ambient light rather than a focused pool, because the rattan diffuses output. For reading or close work, add recessed or table lighting.
- How does it compare with a glass or fabric-shade chandelier?
- Glass and fabric shades throw more direct light and look crisper; the Polly is warmer and more textured. Choose it for atmosphere, the others for brightness.
- What ceiling height does it need?
- Plan for roughly 30 to 36 inches of clearance above a dining table, and check the drop against your ceiling height. A sloped or very high ceiling may need extra chain or a longer stem.
- Is it suitable for a bathroom or covered porch?
- It is an indoor fixture, and damp rooms are a poor fit for rattan and natural trim. Keep it in dry interior spaces.
