Low(er) light plant suggestion

Background, this large narrow upright pot sits mid way between a large bank of sliders and a large east facing window.

The lighting in this room (natural) is bright enough to read by pretty much sun up to sun down. We rarely need to turn the lights on for every day activities but will turn an overhead light on when the kids are doing home work.

I've tried a fiddle leaf fig and I think the distance from the windows was too great, not enough light. The plant improved once moved closer to another window. Next I tried lady Palm, similar results.

I'd like something with an upright growth habit (the taller the better, tall ceilings), happy in low light conditions, and relatively fuss free.

Your advice ? I'd like to avoid the mega high toxicity plants like ZZ plant and peace lily since I have both kids and pets.

Thank you.
