We are delighted with the size of these pendants.  We ordered two which was the perfect size for our island.  They are 8" in diameter so three would have been too many.  We also ordered the 3-bulb larger version for over our dining table and they are an ideal match.  We have an off-white kitchen with fantasy brown granite counters and oak floors.  Using an LED bright white bulb was the optimum color in this case.  Daylight was made the fabric shade too green and soft white made the fabric shade too yellow.
