What size chandelier for DR table with extensions?
Comments (3)I'd vote for option 1 or 2, with at least 300 total combined wattage lights, and a dimmer switch so that you can adjust total light output based on the seated area. That's what I've done in a similar situation and it's worked well....See MoreWhat size chandelier?
Comments (8)The 12-light chandelier will overwhelm the space, and I would recommend going with the 8 light version. Your table could handle the larger version, but width of the room is too small, and it would look out of proportion. Draw an elevation of your dining room, and you will be able to see this.

Comments (5)Hey, I just bought this chandelier! I got the small and the petite. The small is pretty large! I am using it in a breakfast nook with 9'3" ceilings and a 60" round table. FYI, the shortest hanging height with the hardware shown is 33". You could omit the short rod and just use chain to get it to hang higher. Also, it puts out a lot of light, but it does produce a slight shadow right under the fixture. Mine is on a dimmer, which I highly recommend for most light fixtures. I did the assembly myself and wired it up. The small size isn't too heavy, but I did need a second pair of hands for final wiring. Just remembered, I bought mine from Ballard too, but in doing some searching after the fact, I discovered the manufacturer. Made by Crystorama Lighting. The Solaris collection. You might want to goggle that and see if you come up with any better deals....See MoreWhat size chandelier/light fixture for 10' ceiling front hall?
Comments (3)Eighteen inches of fixture will allow six plus inches of chain AND attachment......and nicely clear the entry door and trim. Hang center on door in most cases....See Morelascatx
