YES, Rowabi does offer pendant lights with extra-long cable options. Several current models are available with 180-inch Natural Hardwire configurations, which is the right starting point for a space with 20-foot ceilings. Standard 120-inch options may not provide enough cord to lower the fixture to a comfortable dining height.
The real question is not whether a pendant is adjustable; it's whether the cord starts long enough for a 20-foot ceiling.
How much cord length do you actually need for a very tall dining room?
For a dining room, the target is to hang the pendant's bottom 28–34 inches above the tabletop. Working backward from that, here's how the math plays out for a 20-foot ceiling:
- Standard dining table height: approximately 30 inches from the floor
- Target pendant bottom: 30–34 inches above the table = roughly 60–64 inches from the floor
- Ceiling height: 20 feet = 240 inches
- Required cord length: 240 inches (ceiling) minus 64 inches (bottom of fixture from floor) minus the height of the shade itself
For most pendant shades in the 12–20 inch height range, the required cord length is approximately 156–168 inches from the canopy to the top of the shade.
That means a 120-inch cord, even at full, unshortened length, falls significantly short. A 180-inch cord gives you the range to reach the right hanging height with room to spare for fine-tuning during installation.
Which Rowabi pendant lights currently offer 180" hardwire options?
The following models are currently listed with 180-inch Natural Hardwire configurations, making them the most relevant options for tall dining rooms:
Ariel Rattan Pendant Light
A flowing, sculptural rattan form with strong visual presence. Works well as a statement piece in a tall, open dining space where the fixture itself becomes part of the room's architecture.
Kloe Rattan Pendant Light
A classic open-weave dome available in multiple sizes. The open weave allows light to diffuse in all directions, which is particularly effective in tall rooms where the play of shadow on upper walls adds atmosphere.
Beatrice Rattan Pendant Light
A tiered, layered rattan form that reads with gravitas in a large dining room. The stacked silhouette adds vertical interest that complements, rather than fights against, the height of a soaring ceiling.

Aurelia Rattan Pendant Light
A refined woven dome with a warm, consistent light distribution. A versatile choice that works across a range of dining room styles, from modern organic to coastal to transitional.

Serena Rattan Dome Light
A clean, tightly woven dome that provides focused downward light. Its smooth, uninterrupted silhouette reads well from a distance, which matters in rooms with 20-foot ceilings where the fixture is viewed from further away than in a standard-height room.

Sammie Tier Rattan Pendant Light
A layered, cascading form with visual complexity that rewards being seen from below, exactly the vantage point you get in a tall dining room. One of the most architectural options in the collection for high-ceiling applications.

In addition to individual fixture options, Rowabi also offers a Hanging Pendant Light Kit in both 120" and 180" lengths, useful if you're working with a shade from another source or want a replacement cord for an existing installation.
Is 120" enough, or should you focus on 180" options?
For most rooms, 120 inches is sufficient. For a 20-foot ceiling, it isn't.
Here's the comparison:
| Cord length | Maximum drop from the canopy | Realistic for 20-ft ceiling? |
| 48" | 48 inches | No, far too short |
| 120" | 120 inches | No, falls short of the dining height target |
| 180" | 180 inches | Yes, sufficient range for most 20-ft dining setups |
At 120 inches (10 feet) of cord, the bottom of the pendant would sit at approximately 10 feet from the floor, well above eye level and far above the dining table. That defeats the purpose of a pendant over a dining table, which is to create an intimate, focused light source close to the surface below.
At 180 inches (15 feet) of cord, the bottom of the pendant can be positioned at roughly 5 feet from the floor, which, after accounting for shade height and fine-tuning, lands comfortably in the 28–34 inch above table target for most standard dining table heights.
The 180-inch cord is also fully adjustable; you trim to your required length during installation, so any excess is removed cleanly rather than coiled up above the canopy

Final recommendation for a 20-foot dining room
Start with the 180-inch hardwire group and choose based on style from there. Trying to make a 120-inch cord work in a 20-foot room will leave you with a pendant that floats too high to feel connected to the dining table below, the most common mistake buyers with very tall ceilings make.
From the models listed above, the most popular choices for large, tall dining rooms are the Kloe (versatile, multiple sizes), the Serena (clean and refined), and the Beatrice or Sammie Tier if you want a more architectural statement piece.
If you're unsure which size or style suits your dining room dimensions, reach out to the Rowabi team with your table size and ceiling height. Then we can help you work through the proportions before you order.
