I wasn't sure if I would like this, but it's actually really pretty. the remote is so usefully and it's quiet when operating. you need two people to hang it. I didn't hire someone and the directions to me weren't all that helpful. But if you have hung a ceiling fan before it's pretty much the same process. Putting the small box under the cover for the remote to work was the hardest part, and the wires at first seem to be too long but you have to pull them through to hide under the light mount. the crystals are pretty. I hung it in the bedroom over the bed.  The blades when you turn it off hide away. It's perfect!!..
