I was a little concerned that this would look too modern in our kitchen, but it is exactly what I wanted!  I wanted something with clean lines, up to date and easy to clean.  This fan is it!  I read a lot of reviews that commented on how quiet it is.  I stand right under it and it doesn't make a sound!  We have an 8 foot ceiling and this fan offers more than enough "head room".  I have never liked a fan this much!  Would definitely recommend this!
