I was hoping it would 'hug' the ceiling more than it does, and it is bigger and more 'industrial'-looking than I thought - so, some disappointment. It didn't come with the 'balancing kit' as stated in the manual -- and the fan does need some balancing - squeaks a bit when running. I'll have to deal with this. But it is quiet, which was one of the reasons why I wanted it. Also moves the air really well.
