Can I get some dimensions on how high pendant fixtures are normally placed above a kitchen island top. Does 30-36" sound reasonable?
 
30 - 36 sounds OK.

It also depends on the size of the fixture.

Hold it up if it looks good to the customer then it looks good to me.

Agree, whatever looks the best considering the design of the fixture. Just make sure the girls have room to dance on the island :cool:.
 
I don't think I've ever measured a pendant over an island. I usually go by the homeowners' heights and set it as low as I can so they can still see underneath it and so that no one hits their head while leaning over the island, whatever the design may be. The only exception I can remember to this practice was with a couple of monster pendants in a kitchen with like 10' ceilings where we moved them up higher than I would normally recommend because they were so massive.
 
Have to agree with edward. If the customer likes it..looks great to me.
Once a customer had me install the most hideous fixture I ever saw. once it was up she was in awe of how much more beautiful it was installed and out of the box. she asked me what I though of it..I responded it looks great. let me get your invoice.....I was laughing in my head about how ugly it was all the way to the truck.

Reminds me of returning to trim out a job and trying to not let my face show what my brain is screaming about that horrible color paint I see on the wall.
