This is a beautiful ceiling fan, and it works great.  However... this was a total witch to install.  I went with the standard mount option.  The canopy of the fan has a twist and lock feature to the mounting bracket, but it would not align with the screws due to all the items (wires & connectors, receiver for the remote) contained within the canopy.  I literally had to sand down part of the plastic on the receiver so that it would fit.  A beautiful fan, but a nightmare to install - so it gets 4 stars from me
