What size linear pendant over long dining room table?
Comments (2)It's better to have a light that is slightly too big than one that's too small, plus the structured and open design of the Restoration Hardware means it doesn't take up as much visual space as other designs might. I think the Restoration Hardware pendant is actually the better fit for your table--the Ballard one risks looking too small against the whole table, whether or not the leaf is in it. If you did decide to go for the cool industrial black and brass chandelier, I'd recommend buying two, imagining your table divided evenly in half and then mounting each chandelier so it is centering its half of the table....See MoreIs this the right sized/shape chandelier over an 82ft. dining table?
Comments (2)82 feet? wow. that's some table. I assume you mean 8' dining table? W 20.5" / D 20.5" / H 37.5" / 26 lb.it's 20x20 by 37" high. can you get a tape measure so you can visualize that? there are 6-40w bulbs. Your best bet is to go into a lighting store where they have this type of beaded chandelier, and see how it looks when lit. And if you're actually asking sales that question, this is the wrong forum...See MoreOne chandelier or two over dining room table?
Comments (7)I would just put one crystal chandelier up. My table seats 10 and it uses that 110 inch length dining room tablecloth. That is plenty of light, and plenty of crystal drops to dust !!

It's all in the accessories, table cloths, dishes, and table decor to make it as elegant as you want it to be. And the more different looks it can give you, the more use you will get out of it !! https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Simply-Solid-Corina-Solid-Wood-11-piece-Dining-Collection/10208353/product.html?refccid=2A2V23YRBESKP42N5BQQ74FKUA&searchidx=30 Now, I like the Hooker line and there are more, so keep looking. You might check with Nebraska Furniture Mart(the biggest store ever, in more than just one state now) and with Mathis Brothers out of Oklahoma City. Either one may have several dining options for you to look into. ..Overstock is good, but when you want something this big, you want to make sure the quality is similar /equitable to the size. I did not check out Wayfair or Grandin Road, and there are more places. I know a brand that makes what you want, I just have a hard time figuring out if it was Hooker? Possibly it was. Unbelievably, I have seen more beautiful gorgeous dining room furniture from the 80s in estate online adv. sales in metro areas this past winter than ever before. No one wants Mom or Grandma's 'family heirloom' dining room set apparently and they are usually very reasonably priced. Keep your eyes open, they are lightly used and they are a piece of art compared to many of what you see today. And alot of times, the silver, and the china, the hutch and the buffet are all there to go out the door with the furniture(Yes, even the Chandeliers too !! I have seen). Good luck. Don't settle, What you want is out there and keep your eyes open for those 'fire sales'......See MoreHow to hang double chandeliers over dining room table?
Comments (3)Hi Hannah! First of all, thanks for that drawing--helps me visualize the situation. We actually have recommendations for how to hang 2 chandeliers over a long table. The best way to do it is to imagine cutting the table in half and then centering each of the chandeliers over their half of the table. Your chandelier sizes will work, too, based on our sizing recommendations. Let me know if you have any questions!...See Morehomechef59
