Perhaps, depending upon placement of table, chairs, walking space, etc. The lights are about 6' off the floor, so a tall person would have to duck under them. I would recommend using a dimmer for the lights.

Not sure about a dining room. The feet are somewhat large and could be a trip hazard. The light has a self built in dimmer however your limited on movement in terms of swing on the arms.

Yes it would do well in a Dining Room - especially if you like to dine with class in in a dimmed light setting. The shades reflect the lighted area beautifully.

I would say that it is definitely bright enough, but you will need plenty of space as it is quite big. A tall person will need to duck under it.

In my opinion, no. I replaced a chandelier with this one and while I am quite happy with the look and quality of the light it doesn't put off a ton of light. Lucky for me I have other can lighting in this room therefore it is not an issue.

Hi Mia, if that's your only light it might not be enough. I have mine over dining room table but I have other light from outside and in. I do love this bulb though and happy I bought it.

I have mine over a long dining room table and it looks just fine. I have 12' ceilings and the room is 18x18. If the room is smaller than that I'm not sure if it would look good.

My table is 44" round and the light is perfect although I have an 18 foot ceiling. Be aware that this Chandelier is heavy and not easy to assemble.

I took it off and it actually looks like a chandelier! The only thing I would worry about are the bulbs would then be exposed. Someone could easily touch them and get burned if it were in an common, pass-thru area. Otherwise, good idea and would look fine in an out of the way place!

Shawnn, Without knowing your foyer, we can state that we have hung two of the Chandeliers over our dining room table and are very pleased. Our is a more rustic tuscan themed kitchen and these Chandeliers worked perfectly. We suspect that had we found them in a light store, we would have paid more. Please do pay attention to the requires assembly comments frequently left by Amazon purchasers of this item. If you are not good with your hands, and everyone is not, take this into consideration. On the other hand, if a neighbor or relative is good with their hands, ask them to assist you.

I ordered - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002NAHT/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This looks amazing with this chandelier. It is hanging in my grand daughter's room. Here is a link to a pic of it installed with the light: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/258253359855644797/ Hope this helps. ~lois

Hi Heather, I bought two chandeliers - one was an acrylic looks like crystal (but wasn't) for our new remodel of the bathroom (I got my steam shower! yay! lol). the other was the venetian all crystal one. I was disappoinmtedf to find an arm broken on it and I didn't want to bother mailing iut back - myada , yada, yada so I took the extra baubles and stuck them on the plastic one for added glitz (yes, I'm gay - LOL). Anyway, I thought I threw out the bulbs along with the broken chandelier but I saved one. It is the size of bulb, found at LOwe's and HOme Depot, that is the size larger than the smallest screw part of the bulbs they sell for chandeliers.I believe the brand is SYLVANIA Double Life 40 watt (get a dimmer or buy the size of the bulb in a lower watt or even low LED. I hope you find them. Call me if you need more info 951-218-2890

Maybe, if you used several nails, around the center where the light fixture would normally hold it in place. But it's made from an extremely thin material. Maybe, you could go to thrift store an pick up a cheap ceiling fixture and just use the ceiling cap to hold the medallion in place & paint everything the same color. Hope this helps. I love mine!

I would not advise this light. It looks good, but over all it is cheep quality. It does not accept more than 25 watt chandelier light, so you can not expect much light from it. After searching long I found an energy sever light that barely fitted in and now the light works good. I still will not advise it. good luck

I would have to say no. It's more of a spotlight. It's good for lighting up a table top for when you're doing crafts or sewing, but it wouldn't light the whole room.

No and I am not real happy with it. It isn't really big and impressive enough for a dining room. It looks more like a fancy bedroom or large closet chandelier.

The light is focused, yet soft. I use it at my laptop. As a small spotlight at close distance I think it would work if the room is sufficiently dark. I'm trying to imagine how you are going to set it up. As a foot light aimed from the floor or an intervening table. In either case you should not expect good results in a bright room or from a distance. I guess I didn't answer, did I?

I believe it would work. From tip to tip it is 24 inches wide. Measuring only the chandelier it is approximately 24 inches long. It is ornate. I have two of them. Good luck! Cut out a box or something using these measurements. Put a string through it and tape it to your ceiling to get a visual of the size.

Yes it is big enough but I don't have a huge dining room. But mine works perfectly and the light I have is a lower wattage for a softer light but even at regular wattage I don't think it's meant to be super bright.

I think it is big enough for a dining room table. I really don't know if it will reflect on the table. It is a very beautiful and unusual lamp. Not seen on any store.
