After buying our first home, we needed to update the light fixtures and ceiling fan. This was the perfect ceiling fan for our kitchen. Its stunning. The fan is plastic for easy cleaning but you cant see it. Very quiet fan but definitely circulates the air well. It took about 45 minutes to install from start to finish. The only issue we had was trying to figure out the special sized battery for the remote. We finally found it at a Walgreens. All in all a great ceiling fan.
