I was looking to replace my ceiling light fan and I was so excited to find this fandelier. I have an 8 ft ceiling so we just hung with no extention and it fits perfect. The shades are a nice linen fabric and very white and we arent using. The small glass bulb in the center of the fan is more of a clear with golden brown tint. Delivery went as expected all in one nice large box with light bulbs included.  The lights are bright not too low like someone had mentioned and the fan is like a soft breeze on 1 or if your looking to blow smoke out just crank it to a 3. Easy install for 2 not so handy seniors.
