My island is 58" x 105" with 8' ceilings. I went with two 13" Benson pendants. Perhaps it's because my ceilings are only 8', but I can't imagine having three of these in my space as they take up a large amount of visual space. I had considered going with three of the 7", but the consensus here was to go with the larger. Glad I did as they really do make a statement.

Hi Neil, For bar stools, it may be possible to fit 3 comfortably spaced between each other. You can try to fit 4, if the stools are narrow enough but it won't likely be very comfortable. However, other things to consider may be what type of environment you want to create in that space. If close and intimate, 4 would be the route to go. If more casual and comfortable, then 3 would probably be the better option. If you haven't yet decided on what bar stools to go with yet, we recommend the following: Tasha Boa Ava The Tasha and the Boa can act as bar stools as they are round, hollow, and sturdy, or as accent tables. As for pendant lights, it's a matter of preference. Pairs or trio's would work. If you go with a pair of pendants, then make sure that the diameter of the pendant is large enough to span the kitchen island. If you go with a trio of pendants, you'll have to use smaller diameter-sized pendants to give them a spacing between each other. We have these smaller diameter-sized pendants that could work for your kitchen island: Hermione Pendant Collection Hooray Harriett Pendant Collection Hooray Henry Pendant Collection We hope this information will help you make a more informed decision on your home needs.

From reference above. "Now we know you all hate it when we say you SHOULD follow this or that rule, so call this post the Guideline of Threes in your mind if you must. Because there’s a good reason that sitcom wasn’t called Four’s Company, or there weren’t six blind mice. And that same reason can help you create an interesting home that’s not just functional, but also has visual depth and satisfaction. It’s pretty simple: The rule guideline of threes say that things arranged in odd numbers are more appealing, memorable, and effective than even-numbered groupings. Three seems to be *the* magic number, but 5, 7, or 9 work nicely as well. The principle holds weight in interior design, to be sure, but also pops up in graphic design, photography, storytelling, etc… (so you know it’s really a thing). What is it about the odd numbers? Apparently, it’s just how our lovely brains work. For one, three is the smallest number that can be used to form a distinguishable pattern in our heads. Also, when you see an odd number of things, your eye is forced to move around more, which makes for a more interesting visual experience."

Those fixtures are very narrow and are not going to provide much light. To make a statement you might need as many as 5. See image bel;ow. Perhaps a fixture like this but longer would make a better statement?????
