Probably the most important is how it looks with a room. A 56" fan in
a small bedroom is not good. Also must consider how far low the
fan/light hangs. Three speeds is a good feature. Solid metal blade
brackets break less than hollow stamped metal. I have both cheap
($12 special) and expensive ($240) ceiling fans and you wouldn't know
it unless up close. All fans should be properly installed and tuned.
