Absolutely beautiful and quiet!  I had been using a small portable fan which was very loud and didn't deliver much air circulation. I had been wanting a ceiling fan, but wasn't a priority and was somewhat cost prohibitive.  When this one came up at on a "close-out" price, I jumped on it.  As much as I love the installed product, I will say that the instructions were less than stellar.  Luckily, I have a fair amount of knowledge and common sense about how things work and should look.   I installed on my own, but it took several hours.  Overall, would recommend this light to all.
