Our house was built in 1965 and the ceilings are very low and so are the shower heads. I bought this so our 6'5" guests don't have to get on their knees to shower! lol. This shower head was for our spare bathroom. The head was much larger than I thought it was going to be. But it works ok. We have very low ceilings in our bathroom and the wand actually needs to be tilted down because it hits the ceiling if pushed up to its full height. So if you are looking for a taller shower head this would work for you. The wand stays put well and doesn't fall off like some other shower head wands. Since this is a spare bathroom it doesn't get used much, and we will probably keep this shower head once we remodel and raise the ceiling to a full 8 foot ceiling.
