We have a small office that is in direct sunlight most of the day and really wanted a fan in the room for when working from home! We knew we had to get a smaller diameter fan but was worried about the air flow and if it would look odd in the office. Installation was very easy with the included instructions, although I have installed at least a half dozen since becoming a home owner nears ago. The fan works great! It is very quiet and balanced (could depend on your installation). By the way our office is 10’ x 11’
