I have a 7-1/2' ceiling. Do I use the setting for 7' or 8' ceiling?

I did not realize that there was a "setting" for 7 or 8 feet. It is simply a few pieces that fit together to create a pole that you turn or "ratchet" until it reaches the ceiling. There is a small wrench to tighten it. There is also a metal plate that fits on the bottom for the floor area and another piece for the ceiling that is like a capital "I" that is about 18" long. It is wonderful and easy to install and also remove with no damage to floor or ceiling. I had two for my husband, one by his chair and one by the bed. It made getting him up and down much easier.

Obviously you can't put an 8' pole in a room with a shorter ceiling. Start with the 7' setting and adjust the pole until it is fastened tightly in place. I have a 9' ceiling and just used the tallest setting.

I am 6'2" and it is fine for me. I would not put it in a room with less than an 8' ceiling for someone as tall as you are.

This fan might be at 8 feet when installed on your ceiling. As the down rod is 6 inches it self . Hope this info will help you with your decision :0)

Yes, our ceiling is 8 feet. We put it in our bedroom so I bought a swag kit at the local big box store.

I think the minimum height is somewhere between 6-7 ft ceiling. You should be fine.

Yes, I think so, just leave off the second piece. I have an 8 ft ceiling so I used both sections (one full and one 8").

We have have normal height ceilings in our daughters' room (8ft) and it almost touches the ground. So I would say approximately 7-7 1/2ft.

I'm not an expert but I wouldn't install it in an 8 ft ceiling. We installed ours in a 13 ft ceiling. I would think 10 ft should be a minimum .

I have mine installed about 10" from the ceiling and it looks great! I am sure 8" would work just as well.

Hi Steve, You would be better off with a smaller unit. Honestly, we had issues with this particular unit on one of our recent installations. Look at some of the other smaller units as they are better fit to accommodate your 7' ceiling height.

7 ft would be 2 short we have 8 ft ceilings and that works if you can make it work it's a great item we all have fun

This is a large fan, better suited for a high ceiling. I wouldn't use it with an 8 ft ceiling.

I have mine at 4 feet because I have room. My first setting was at 2 feet and you can probably go even closer.

No. I've been trying to figure out a way to shorten as well. My ceiling is avg. around 8-10 ft and it looks just fine. The reason I wanted to shorten so I could shorten certain ones not all.

The ceiling in my main bath is 8 feet & it works fine but is a bit 'shaky'. I wouldn't go higher than that.

I've 8 Ft ceilings as well. The fan hangs down 12" from ceiling giving you 7'. My fan hangs over the kitchen table and I've plenty of room under the fan. I think you would be fine using this fan.

I have an 8 foot ceiling and the lights come over about 3 feet. I didn't measure I'm just guessing.
