Well, it sounds like it's unanimous. DH was right! How am I EVER going to bring myself to tell him he was right and I was wrong?!?

You do know he is never going to let me forget this, don't ya?
Happinow, I wish I could use the fixture in my dining room, but I think it would be too small in comparison with my table. I guess I will just leave the lovely little chandelier for the future owners.
Thanks to everyone who took time to weigh in on the subject. Much appreciated.
