I put this fan in my spare bedroom and the works well for that space. The light is sufficient, but I'm used to multiple lights, so a single bulb feels weird to me. Installation was easy and my husband and I were able to do it under two hours. It took longer because we were upgrading from a basic light to a ceiling fan. I think if you're just replacing a ceiling a fan you wouldn't spend as much time. I really like the matte black look of the light and the nice clear bowl, but the blades aren't black enough for me. They are too light, almost a dark gray. The opposite side of the blades are brown with some black streaks. This gives you options for your space.
