how far above table should chandelier hang
(You can also use a two-tier chandelier.) The chandelier should also be higher if it's a bowl style and you can't see through the glass. In an eight-foot-high dining room, most chandeliers will hang about 30 inches above the dining room table.If you need help on chosen the right size of chandelier for the size of table you have, let me know and i will help you..
