We had the same problem in our dining room area in the At Ease. We called the electricians who worked on the home and they moved it and repaired the ceiling for a minimal cost. I believe it may have been $80

Bingo. Our dining room table looked like it was stuck out past the middle of the room until we added a buffet. Now the table is centered under the chandelier and looks perfectly normal.

The dinette nook, however, was never going to look right. We removed the chandelier and put a recessed light in. Pike's did it.

Because if you center the table under the dining room light fixture, it blocks one of the doors to the bedroom.

Lots of the fixture boxes used in these nooks are fan duty rated- I removed the fixture & replaced it a ceiling fan.

You say that it "does not seem" to be centered.

Have you actually measured it? I've found that many things that don't look right are actually correct.

Swag it, that's what we did on 2 light fixtures; looks just fine.

Trust me... it is off center. And not just by a little bit...
