This is a great, contemporary style ceiling fan.  I bought it for the entryway in my apartment, between the kitchen and living room, to circulate air into the kitchen.  It works perfectly!  It's extremely quiet even at the fastest speed.  I looked at a ton of fans before choosing this one because I did not want one that had multiple light bulbs.  You do sacrifice some light with this fan, but the look and performance more than make up for it, to me.
