This fan is gorgeous! My husband said it was a little tricky installing the blades because the instructions seemed a little out of order. He had to take something apart to install the blades. However, he thought it was easier to install than some of the other fans we bought from a big box store. It is by far the most attractive fixture in our new home. It looks so much more expensive than what it was!  Very satisfied with my purchase and shipping was super fast!
