This is a nice ceiling fan but it does not fit standard down stems (regular ones from both major home supply stores) if you are looking to hang it a bit lower. Also wiring is strange, I had a ceiling fan previously I was replacing for cosmetic reasons. It had a dimmer for lights and a dimmer for fan speed. This one does not work with the fan speed dimmer because it makes a very audible humming noise when used in tandem. Had to switch to toggle switch and change fan speed with the pully
