I really love the look of this fixture.  It's stunning in my office!  It does a great job lighting up the space and the remote control is a  handy addition and gives lots of options.   The fan blades are much smaller than a traditional ceiling fan and, in my opinion, are better suited to a smaller room.  I don't think you get quite the same air flow as you do from the traditional fixture.  That said, this will work very well for a smaller room.
