We were going to use a 2 ft downrod with this ceiling fan in a room that had 11 ft ceiling. However, when the electricians came to install it, they told us that the wiring in the fan wasn't long enough and also that the downrod would have to be a 1/2 inch one instead of 3/4 inch (which is what we bought) b/c this fan is an older model (over 10 years old) that requires the 1/2 inch downrod which is difficult to find. Therefore, we decided to install it in another room where there was a shorter ceiling and no downrod would be required. We just installed it last week and so far it's been working well. It just swings quite a bit on high speed. Otherwise, we are happy with the fan and the good lighting it provides. It takes three regular 40 or 70 watt lightbulb which provides plenty of light in a small bedroom. Other ceiling fans I've seen on other websites use the small candelabra bulbs that are very weak and dim. I would recommend buying it only if you don't plan on using a downrod.
