If you are hanging the chandelier above a dining table chandelier s bottom should be 30 to 36 inches away from the tabletop.

With a 3 foot tall table 36 inches add another 36 inches to account for the gap between the table and the chandelier base. Hang the chandelier 3 inches higher for each additional foot of ceiling height. This range assumes you have an 8 foot ceiling.
