It’s exactly as described! I needed a flush mount (or as close to) ceiling fan for low ceilings in a flex space. This fan is perfect. It was not easy to put together, so if you’re a super novice at hanging lights, I would keep that in mind. With the directions, it’s not impossible but took me longer than I anticipated. This is probably the 6th fan I’ve hung and all others were basically ready to hang in comparison.
