I needed a smaller light fixture what was cool and also had a ceiling fan for my small home office. My office is only 9x7 but works well for me. This fixture is stellar. Super cool and different. Everyone that has seen it, has something nice to say or asks where than can get it. The remote works great for changing the direction of the fan when I get hot and need a breeze or when I got cold and need to pull the heat upwards instead. I could not be happier with this purchase.
