Elba Collection 8 1/2" Wide Mini Pendant Chandelier

As others have noted, these lights are pretty (although I think prettier from a distance than up close) but the size and scale makes them a difficult choice, especially in the "mini pendant" category. I have a large, open concept kitchen with 9' ceilings and a 6'x3' island that opens to the dining space. Although I was nervous about the size, I decided to try because these lights would have complimented our backsplash so well.

Unfortunately, as soon as they arrived, it was clear the size was wrong - and the scale even more wrong. I think you'd need at least 12' ceilings to make the scale appropriate. With 9' ceilings, these lights over an island would have been about 2/5 light and 3/5 chain. Not a good look.

Something else to consider, if you want to try these out. We ordered 3 - 2 for the island, 1 for over sink. What I didn't realize was that they would be sent in individual boxes. So when we decided to return them, we have 3 packages to ship back at a cost of $82!!! That's $82 just to see if they fit.

So my advice is that you create a dummy light (even if only of cardboard) to check the size and scale of these in your space before you order. Because if you get it wrong and have to return them, it's going to be expensive.

Pros: Pretty, Artistic Design, Well Built

Cons: Size

Larger than life pendant with the most beautiful amber fixture when not illuminated. It also has a pinkish glow in the right light. Be aware that it is larger than a mini but that is exactly what I wanted. 100 watt bulb makes for great light and if that is too much, put it on a dimmer or put a lower wattage bulb in. Happy in Texas!

Pros: Stylish, Great Illumination, Easy To Change Bulb

Best Uses: over island, High Ceilings, Decoration, Over Table

I had been looking for some time for a pendant to fit over the sink in my newly-remodeled kitchen. My other fixtures are Tuscan style and I wanted something that would complement that but have its own look. Most of the pendants I saw were too small to look appropriate in the 33" wide space. I love the size, color and style of this one, it complements the other fixtures so well. Plus you can make it any length you prefer, no rigid rod to spoil the versatility. The 100w downlight is just right for the sink work and the color gives it that something extra. Beautiful, functional, and a nice price, can't beat that!

My kitchen installers just hung 3 of these over our new kitchen island. They are beautiful! These are the highlight of our new kitchen. They are not mini. In fact they are quite large but our island is long and they fit perfectly. I am very pleased!

Pros: Stylish, Great Illumination, Stable Design

This is a beautiful light. We put 4 of them in our sloping, high ceiling kitchen. Being able to use a 100 watt bulb gives ample illumination and they cast a lovely glow that warms the whole atmosphere. I cannot say anything negative about this product. We love them!!

Pros: Stylish, Quality Construction, Great Illumination

Best Uses: Primary Light Source, High Ceilings

I'd been looking for over a year for something like this. Large enough for over my kitchen island but stylish at the smae time. The crackled glass looks amazing.

This pendant has a gorgeous crackle glass shade that has a dichroic effect. I loved it. Unfortunately I had to send it back because it was too big. It's not really "mini"! If it had been two inches smaller it would have fit the space. I was sad to see it go back.

I ordered two of these fixtures which now hang over my kitchen island. The spice color of the glass is perfect coloration for the gold accents in my kitchen. The handmade glass lends a touch of sophistication to the room.
I am glad I chose this fixture because I wanted a change from the ordinary white glass.This has a European style to it.

The item was just as pictured, and looks great!

I used these over a fairly large kitchen island. They are much bigger than most pendant lights so pay close attention to the measurement specs. They are beautiful, original, and add an iridescent warm light. I also have the matching chandelier. They are a bit difficult to hang in that it is a challenge to get the glass perfectly straight. It is a two person job, but worth the time.

Pros: Attractive Design, Great Illumination

Cons: Hard To Hang

It hangs behind an arch and above a desk. Adds charm along with being a good source of light. The colored glass casts a mellow light as well as providing enough light directly down on surface.

Great delivery. Great service. Great value. I have recommended Lamps Plus to everyone.

We, hung two of these over our 85 in kitchen Island. Put them on a dimmer. They are just beautiful.

Pros: Great Value, Attractive Design

This pendant hangs in the stairwell (two flights of stairs) up to our second story. It provides a beautiful atmospheric golden light that shines through the crackles on the amber glass in a soft pattern on the high walls. The simple design is perfect for our house.

It probably wouldn't work in an area you needed a lot of bright light. It definitely is light enough for going up and down stairs.

Pros: Easy To Hang, Easy To Change Bulb

Best Uses: Decoration, High Ceilings

I didn't want lighting that I saw in everyone else's kitchen and the moment I saw this light, I decided to buy it. It sparkles when it is the only light source turned on.

Pros: Great Illumination, Quality Construction

We have 2 of these over island. They are great!

Love it!! Yes, I would recommend it!

I had my kitchen remodeled and placed 4 of these over my 2-tier island. Having one large room that combines the kitchen, dining room and lving now without walls, these pendants are the perfect accent to the large room. They add just the right amount of light and decor. I am very glad that I purchased these. I am also considering the chandelier for our foyer.

Pros: Attractive Design, Easy To Hang, Stable Design, Quality Construction, Great Illumination

I bought two of these for over the kitchen island. They are larger than most mini-pendants and fill the space for high ceilings well.

I loved these pendants; however had to return them because they were too large for how I needed to use them. I wish they came in a mini pendant size that blended well with the Chandelier.

Pros: Quality Construction, Stylish, Stable Design

This was the final touch to my kitchen remodel and I really like how the lights added just the right touch to the room.

Pros: Stable Design, Stylish

These are beautiful pendent lights that add formality to a kitchen or bar area. Be mindful that the manufacturer may use different size chain for these. So if you buy three, as we did, you might find that one hangs lower than the others. We experienced this and found that the chain for one of the lights was slightly longer per link than the other two. Same model number, style, etc.

The fixture did not meet my expectations; it should not be categorized as a a "mini" pendent due to it's size. The glass is much paler than portrayed in the photo.

This is a great collection for larger spaces- lots of wow appeal, lots of light, simple and elegant design.
Pendant lights take an 100 watt bulb and provide lots of work light over the kitchen island. The crackle glass looks stunning when lit and displays a beautiful pattern on the ceiling above.

Pros: Great Illumination, Quality Construction, Stable Design, Easy To Change Bulb, Easy To Hang

Makes great light for entry when you have high ceilings
