The Hunter Cassius 44 inch fan only took about an hour from start to finish to hang. It has the option of switching which way you use it clockwise in the winter or counterclockwise in the summer. It includes a pull chain for quick and easy on/off speed adjustments; with its 3-speed whisper wind motor. My husband hung this in our spare bedroom and it fits perfectly! We are thinking about getting a light to hook up to it as it has the capability to do this. It is very elegant and will look great anywhere you need an extra fan. I would highly recommend this style of a fan for your porch or any room inside of your home.
