Common shade materials include fabric or linen, glass, and crystal; some linear chandeliers are listed without a shade (open style). These examples reflect typical listing options rather than an exhaustive set.
Frames and bodies are primarily metal, with listings commonly showing steel or iron constructions and metal finishes. Variations are usually described by finish (brushed, matte, painted) rather than by radically different base materials.
Most modern linear chandeliers require hardwired installation and adult assembly. Many listings include mounting hardware, but tools (screwdrivers, pliers, etc.) and additional parts may not be provided, so check the product details before purchase.
Most listings offer adjustable hanging height using removable or multiple downrods and/or chains. Examples from listings include 6" and 12" rods, grouped adjustable rods, a 60" chain option, and adjustable downrods up to about 39.4"—but available adjustment ranges vary by model.
