The answer is YES. The chain on the Daisy Cone Rattan Pendant Light is adjustable, so you can set the fixture to hang at whatever height works best for your ceiling and space. Here's exactly how it works.
Is the chain on the Daisy Cone Pendant Light adjustable?
Yes, the Daisy Cone Rattan Pendant Light comes with an adjustable chain, so you are not locked into a fixed hanging height after purchase.
Every Daisy Cone order includes an installation instruction sheet in the box. It covers how to assemble the fixture, connect the components, and, importantly, how to shorten the chain if the default drop is longer than you need. If you still have your packaging, that sheet is the best first reference for your specific unit.
How to shorten the chain: Step-by-step
Shortening the chain on the Daisy Cone pendant is a straightforward process that most homeowners can complete during installation. Here's how it works:
- Step 1: Unscrew the chain connector: the small hardware piece that links the chain to the collar ring at the top of the fixture. Unscrew it to separate the chain from the fixture body.
- Step 2: Remove the excess chain links: decide how much length you want to remove. Using a pair of pliers, open and remove chain links from the end of the chain until you reach your preferred length. Work carefully to avoid bending links you want to keep.
- Step 3: Reconnect the chain: once you've reached the right length, reattach the shortened chain to the collar ring using the chain connector. Screw it back in securely to make sure the connection is firm before hanging.
That's the core adjustment. If you're shortening the chain significantly, also check whether the cord inside needs to be gathered or trimmed; your installation sheet will note this if it applies to your model.

What to check before you start
Before shortening the chain, take a few minutes to confirm these details because it'll save you from having to adjust twice:
- Ceiling height: Measure from the ceiling to the floor to determine the total drop for work.
- Desired hanging height: The bottom of the fixture should generally sit 30–36 inches above a countertop or table surface, and around 7 feet from the floor in open spaces like entryways or living rooms. Our pendant hanging height guide covers this in more detail if you want a full reference.
- How much chain to remove: Subtract your desired drop from the total chain length to figure out how many links to remove. It's better to remove slightly less than you think you need, then test the height before trimming further.
- Cord slack: After shortening the chain, make sure there's no excess cord that could create tension or pull on the canopy. The cord should run loosely inside the chain, without being taut.

Can you do this yourself, or do you need an electrician?
The chain adjustment itself, removing links and reconnecting the connector, is something most people can do on their own with just a pair of pliers. No special tools or electrical knowledge are required for that part.
The wiring and canopy connection is a different matter. If your home requires hardwiring into the ceiling junction box (which is the case for most pendant light installations), that part of the job should be handled by a licensed electrician, particularly if you're not comfortable working with household wiring. This is standard for any hardwired fixture, not specific to the Daisy Cone.
So, in practice, you can handle the chain-length adjustment yourself and leave the electrical connection to a professional if needed.
Final answer
The chain on the Daisy Cone Rattan Pendant Light is adjustable. You can shorten it by removing links with pliers and reconnecting the chain using the included chain connector. The full process is outlined in the installation sheet included in your box.
