How high above the dining room table should I hang my electric chandelier?

You can hang mirrors on the wall by your dining room table. When you have guests, it will create an illusion of a very full house, adding warmth to the dining room area. If you light candles at the table, they will be beautifully reflected in the mirror.

On their website, it does not say exactly who manufactures their cotrona tables.

You should contact them and ask them this question directly. I'm sure they'll be happy to answer. Here's the link to contact them: www.potterybarn.com/customer-service/?cm_type=fnav

The best dining room table shape for a room with limited space is a round table. You should look into finding one with an extension leaf if you have enough space to open it. Try looking for a table where you can fit more people around it by purchasing one with a pedestal base. This leaves more room for your guests legs without the legs of the table getting in the way.

Here are a few examples for you to browse through; they should not be too difficult to come by. Do a little online searching and I have no doubt you will find plenty to choose from.

Hi

I was looking for dinning room tables which were standard size and came upon an interesting page at Macy's. They seemed to over a variety of shapes and sizes, many of which will cater for your needs in the kitchen, or dinning room for that matter.

I definitely suggest using your conference room table as adining room table because all you need to do is put some placemats and acenterpiece and it morphs into a dining table. I'm not sure that I'd recommend using your dining room table as aconference table because it might look out of place in an office. Also, conference tables tend to have holes inthe center for cords or phones to be plugged in to.

Kitchen and dining room tables are generally the same. Except, sometimes dining room tables are a bit larger and made out of stronger materials.

It depends how high your ceiling is and the size of the chandelier. If your dining room is eight feet tall, hang the chandelier 27 to 36 inches above the table.
