What is a teardrop shaped chandelier? Can you post a photo? The general rule of thumb is to add the length and width of the room in feet, and then get a chandelier whose diameter is that number in inches. So your chandelier would be about 29" in diameter, which would indicate the medium one. However, it also depends on the chandelier--what is it made of, how "dense" it is, etc.

I'm thinking that the diameter of the chandelier should not be greater than the width of your table, so probably not the large size. Maybe the medium. Med also seems like it might fit nicely heighth-wise: 36" floor to tabletop, 36 " to bottom of chand. 43" to top of chand, and 51" drop.

Yes, I think the medium would work best.

I’m lost again. I called Restoration Hardware and the associate suggested the larger fixture.
Maybe RH likes rooms to have fixtures larger than the typically recommended sizes??

Could be that they want to sell the more expensive one?

I think it depends on how high off the table you were planning to hang it - with 14' ceiling and say approx 30-34" off the dining table - that leaves a lot of dead space (unless you added crown mouldings or a tray ceiling to give it some interest) the space above the chandelier will feel rather empty.

I agree @thecambells85! We will have double or triple crown moulding and a tray ceiling in the dining room. The windows are also 10 feet tall. I am hoping between the windows, tray ceiling, overly tall, fabric chairs at the ends of the table, a nice piece of oversized art work, and curtains, the room will be visually balanced. I'd love your opinion :)

imo; then go with the medium....sounds like a beautiful room with all those details!
