I did a ton of research to find the right fan for a large room with a 17 foot ceiling. Quality was important because we needed scaffolding for the install. We paired this ceiling fan with the 5 Jonesboro downrod from Wayfair. Both in English Bronze. Perfect match. Install was fairly straightforward. The remote works great in spite of the distance. Remote controls speed, light and direction. Light (100 watt max) and fan can be individually controlled from remote. It kicks off a great breeze on high and a gentle one on low. Its very quiet. In spite of a long downrod, the fan is very steady. Wiring was sufficient to feed through long downrod. Unexpected surprise, light bulb was included! I read reviews too so I hope my detailed review makes it easier for you to decide! (Clock in pic also from Wayfair)
