This fan has exceeded our expectations. It’s really stunning in person. The detail of the metal and the color of the fan blades are beautiful. Fan is powerful and quite. There are several speeds you can adjust from the wall switch. The light has some dimming capabilities. It’s pretty bright at night. Our ceiling is 14-15 foot high. Standard down rod is typically 48in for that height we went with 36in to just keep fan higher. It works perfect of our living room. The height matches the sliding doors we have on the other side that fully opens to the patio so no view is obstructed. Installation was really easy. Instructions are detailed and helpful. The wagon wheel in middle looks like a ship wheel for us so it fits perfectly in our coastal living room.
