I love this light. I have very high ceilings in my bedroom. And I needed a fan but wanted something pretty. I found this and it is so glamorous. It’s very powerful and is pretty quiet. I had it on high while I slept and I heard a few noises. But no more than any other fan I’ve had. I did not install it so I cannot speak on the assembly. But it looks beautiful. It does give a pattern around the room but I don’t mind because it’s a soft light for night. During the day I have a lot of natural light.
