We have our home office in a second bedroom, south facing.  We've always had a floor fan in there during the summers but with two workstations in there, space is at a premium.  This ceiling fan is attractive and effective.  I like that when the blades are retracted, which they are 60-70% of the time because we live in Alberta, the light fixture itself just looks like a light, but when you need it, the fan is right there.  Also there are 4 light settings, one more yellow, one pure white, one a blue white all at full brightness, and then a dimmer light for if you don't want full light.  My only complaint about the unit is that it won't remember light settings and we prefer the white light while working on computers, but as that is a personal preference, I am keeping my rating at 5 stars for overall functionality and look of the light.
