This light hangs over my reclaimed English pub style picnic table.  My table is 7' and this light covers and lights my table perfect. Not only does it brightly light up the table but it has a nice ambient light upward. It's hard to get an idea from measurements online how large this light is. The light cups are dinner plate size and the iron construction is quite solid but still delicate enough to allow for viewing through the windows behind my dining table, which is quite nice. I highly recommend this fixture. It really is unique and has a nice display other then the typical tiered dining chandelier.
