We bought this for our living room to update our gold ceiling fan from the 1980s.  This fan is awesome.  The fan doesn't hang as low as our previous one and with the light kit as a single light as opposed to several individual globes, it really makes the room feel bigger than before.  My husband was impressed with the hook feature on the fan that allows you to hang the fan on the mounting bracket while you connect all the wires (instead of having to support the whole thing).  We are super happy with the look!
