Wow! This fan is big and beautiful! The blades are long and pack a nice breeze while spinning. It took about 3 hours to install. The directions were so easy to follow. I love the way it looks. I installed it in my dining room. It is the first thing you see when you walk in the door. The lighting is a little dim, so I just bought a brighter bulb. It is a great addition to my home. Just beautiful!
