I usually do not post reviews, but I love this fan so much that I feel compelled. It is a beautiful, high quality fan that puts out a lot of air without a lot of racket. We purchased a 2' downrod from the local hardware store and it hangs beautifully from our very tall, angled ceiling (there is a rounded, pivoting end that allows for straight or angled hanging; we needed the longer downrod for height only). I also bought a longer pull chain because of the higher ceiling. I was afraid I would not like the wooden blades against a mostly white backdrop, but it is beautiful. It adds the finishing touch to my beach-themed bedroom. Note to purchasers: if the fan does not work after installation, ensure the switch on the side of the motor is all the way down and not in the middle.
