I generally dont like the look of ceiling fans, but they are a necessity! I was so excited to find this one, its like a work of art!! I was a bit surprised that the entire fan is plastic, especially for the price, but once its up, you cant tell. Very good installation instructions made it simple to install, and the ceiling bracket has a hook to hang the fan while doing the wiring, so its easily done by one person. My fan has a bit of a delay once its turned on before it starts to spin, which made me think it wasnt working, and caused me to take it down to double check the connections. Not sure if theyre all like that, but give it a few seconds to start to spin before troubleshooting. Very happy with this purchase!!
