This worked great for us and our space. The high speed is naturally more intense and can toss loose papers so we typically only turn on the low function to keep heat moving in the winter. The lightbulbs that come with it are INTENSE, especially considering it has clear glass sconces. We bought some lower-watt/warmer bulbs and they are a lot better - just something to keep in mind that you may want to budget for different bulbs. It was straightforward to install.
