With an 8 foot ceiling I had limited choices. It’s attractive and bright. However, 2 things that I would have preferred, if it were dimmable, and that I wouldn’t have to turn on both top and bottom lights at the same time. Ours does not rattle as others experience.  You have to choose between using the remote or the pull chain. We enjoy the remote. Also, it uses specific bulbs. We do get compliments on it, and for the sale price it was reasonable.
