Need to know the width and the length of your dining area, in order to answer

Also, though less important, but the height of the ceiling where the light goes, and a shape of a table you'll get, will play some role as well, in determining a size

aprilneverends.... 10' x 12' and opens into the livingroom. 16' high ceiling at it's peak.

I like the one you found at Restore. I prefer a little too large of a light rather than borderline small or too small. I also don't think it's too ornate. The oil-rubbed bronze colored iron gives it a casual/transitional feel.

I still like the restore one too. And since it's a rental you won't know what type or size table will be used so going with a good sized one I think would be better.

I headed to the Restore....it's gone. I can still bid on the ones offered on Ebay, but they're only 5 lights...I'll see what comes of that....and Denver has 10 or so Restores.

I got a GREAT price on a Ruvati 30" undermount sink & grid! Some things are working out. :0)

Five lights is plenty..especially as long as each one is 60 W or more..)) We have seven bulbs in the dining chandelier now-and we engage all of them only when we have guests..:)

Congrats on a good deal on a sink!

And you can check your local Craigslist by the way too-one of my most favorite chandeliers was bought for 70 bucks, and later I learned it's a Bohemian glass one too.

They didn't like the style but I happen to love it:)

Etsy can be a great source for lighting too.

Our local ReStore gets new stuff on Tuesdays I think..everything good is gone pretty fast.

aprilneverends....got my last chandy for $15 on CL, candlestick w/ silk shades Love it! The ones on ebay:
