Not for vaulted ceilings or any situation where you need a long rod. Extension rod requirements is 1/2 diameter which is not carried by any major hardware store. The stores carry 3/4 diameter rods. I'm sure its a nice fan but it didn't fit my needs and i had to install the fan quickly, I could not wait to place a special order. They need to update their specs or warn potential customers. Lost money on expedited shipping and returns.
