I love this fan. We have it in a beach cottage in NC.our contractor installed it as part of a complete kitchen remodel. We wanted a fan in the kitchen area to keep it cooler while cooking. With 8 foot ceilings we need a caged flush mount as no furniture will be underneath it. Everyone who has come in has commented on it and how much they love it. The blades actually look like a boat propeller and has a very vintage feel. Good air circulation and turned out to be perfect.
