Is this suitable for hanging in a room with standard 8' ceilings?

The Tristar height is approximately 20" from ceiling to bottom of fan so you clearance underneath the fan would be 6'4". This height would be acceptable if the fan is placed over a table, seating area or bed but, probably would not work in an open area where people walk. Thank you, Michael H. Dan's Fan City

Yes you can hang it like any other room if you left it partially extended or you probably wouldn't even have to do that. You might know I am NOT impressed with this brown and it's not well made.

I think it would be to low. I have mine hanging in my bedroom over my bed. My ceiling is 8 ft and the fixture hangs about 10 inches off the ceiling.

I would say that would work quite well. These things are suppose to work up to 500 cubic feet and you probably will be using it in a room about 1176 cubic feet (assuming your ceiling height is 8 foot). If it doesn't buy another. They are inexpensive enough. That's what I am planning to do if need be

Are you asking because you want to hang it from the ceiling? If that is your goal, then yes it would work.

If hanging from the wall, it is quite snug. But you hang from the ceiling which would probably work for you. It does have the hangers for that.

Yes it will, but 8' is the max. I have 9' ceilings and I had to use the option to purchase extensions from the company. Then the provided curtain (which surprisingly wasn't bad looking at all) was too short. No worries though any drapery will work. I love it and you don't need any tools for assembly or installation. The floor to ceiling poles are spring loaded and may depress more after loaded with clothes, so make sure it's tight to the ceiling/floor to start. I have mine over loaded with clothing and it's sturdy. I was a great purchase. It's better than I expected for the price. Hope this helps. Yes it will, but 8' is the max.

Yes!you need at least 12' opening and hang it at least 5' high. Just to take into account the elongation and sag due to your weight

i cant say for sure (im not at home right now) but i can say its very tall. i set it up in my garage and theres only a few inches to spare. if you have a normal 8ft ceiling you should be fine. just be careful while setting it up. also you might want to get sandbags or something as a counterweight. it tends to tilt and slide easily if its not weighed down properly. but i would highly recommend this product for its cost, ease of assembly, and structure. its very sturdy for such a cheap product. the only bad thing i can say is theres not enough counterweight.

Not sure. We use it on our house (living room) that has an 8ft. ceiling and its not a problem.

It will be fine. I hung a very heavy queen sized headboard from mine with no problems.

You could flush mount it, but looking at mine (and using a measuring tape), it looks like the OVERALL drop from ceiling to the decorative finial on the bottom, would be about 18"-23", but the fan blades would only drop about 10-13" from the ceiling, so the "blade danger" wouldn't be much issue. I think you will be totally fine with 8' ceilings, but If you have anyone who is REALLY tall, like 6'4"+ in the home, maybe go with a lower profile fan without the heating element...

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

If you close mount it, maybe.I mounted with the extention provided and its 20 " inches off ceiling and 28 inches to bottom of pull chains. I would not recommend it for an 8 foot ceiling in any which way-

I think a std 8' ceiling will be fine. Depending on how tall the kids are too.

Yes I have mine hung on a vaulted ceiling. You have to adjust the wires so it hangs evenly.

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.
