I am looking at a Large Rectangular Pendant Lamp and have 9 Foot Ceilings and the Dining Room Table will be 30" inches high. What is the stem length I should order?

Thank you for your question and your interest in Alluminare!

We recommend the fixture shade bottom be positioned 28 to 32 inches above the table top. You did not mention in your email what shade length you were considering; for a 9' ceiling we recommend a 12" tall shade for the best visual balance. So, if you choose any of our 36" stems, the bottom of a 12" tall shade will be 30" above the table surface, which is just right.
