We are remodeling an older home, and the living room had next to no light when we moved in. This fan offers lots of light without being garish. My husband said that it was simple enough to install — but his only complaint is that the vent holes are bigger than the screws given to fill them, so the screws would just drop in if he wasn’t super careful. But now that it’s up, we love it and would buy it again. And the price was great.
