The site lets you see the piece in your space I think thta one is better than the 3 light one I think I would do it if you love the light I like the proprtions of the heads better on the long one too.

I tried the virtual thing, but I couldn’t get it online up over the table correctly 😆 I also agree the 5 light looks so much nicer than the 3.

Math.......

rounded!! 87 minus 72 = 15"

Which means a mere 7.5 inches at both short ends, exposed. Possibly a head banger?!

It's not the ONLY linear light on the planet. A nice proportion? 54 inches to 60"

Keep shopping : )

I see Jans point about the head banging but maybe it will need to hang a bit highe than usual or you keep looking for one 60" long I do agree there are so many choices why this exact one at all. It is kind of boring

I read somewhere else that 6” on the ends was the minimum. Curious about the ratio that makes 54-60” ideal.
I like this one for the texture on the shades and the simplicity. I don’t want something that looks too ‘big’ and obstructs the view across the room. Especially since the kitchen is on the other side of the dining room (open across the whole space).

Minimum does not imply best! The ratio is simple math!

The one I gave you is far better, and Less a kitchen look. and you can see straight through the middle......is a better proportion to the table and will leave 13.5 inches exposed either end.

As to minimums?!

Code for a toilet is 15 inches, soil pipe to a wall or obstruction.......doesn't mean that is super comfy or great. At all. It just means you probably won't skin an elbow : (

Sorry..far prettier here, jmo

or.........

or.......

or call the electrician , have two boxes, two pendants.!! separate from one another. Pretend the table is an island.......just lower at 30Inches, vs 36

What do you plan to place on either side of the fireplace???

Probably built-in bookcases and cabinets.

Thanks for the options!

What a beautiful room!

I think the black cone fixture is a great choice--3 rather than 4 fits better.

Another vote for the three black cones. Against that green fireplace place, it really makes it more eye-catching in a cool way!

Yes,y the black cone fixture, for sure. And the iron shelves that Beverly suggested.

Took awhile to make a decision, but we went with these fixtures and I love them!!

And a different angle
