P.S. I'm trying to remember what I heard on an HGTV program about how far above the table the bottom of the light fixture should be.
If you know please post or can others post the height of theirs? Thanks!

Yes, the chain can be cut to length, in most cases, all you need is a pair or 2 of pliers, open a link, remove excess chain, reinstall on loop at ceiling and press closed. The lamp will need to be either removed from the ceiling, or at the end of the chain to shorten the wire. I have done this many times.
Now if no one else offers to help, I may be able to help, but i just started a large project at my own home, so let me know if no one else replies.
