I had one with the three or for piece down rod that you screw together and hangs from the canopy. After I finished putting it up, I stood back to look at. It was totally cockeyed, even with the swivel ball in the canopy. I guess if it was in the middle of a ceiling it wouldn’t really have been that noticeable, but of course, it was in a stairway only about 3-feet wide so it stuck out like a sore thumb.
Owner supplied fixture, my price was supposed to be just to install it, not remanufacture it, but you know how that goes.
