I finally got around to replacing the old ceiling fan on the back porch with this one. It was very easy to install - the fan blades can often be a struggle, but it was no problem locating the screw holes and getting these attached while up on steps. I'm not keen on the way the light and fan pull chains hang over the glass shade, as this means you're putting weight on the glass when you pull them. I'm not overly concerned, because I'll mostly be turning them on and off from the wall switches, but I'll be checking from time to time that the shade is still attached tightly.
