This is a beautiful fan, design-wise! I love the look and how it makes the space feel. I currently use it indoors, but it can also be used outdoors, which is nice if I ever decide to have a porch that needs a fan! I had a friend come install it, and he said the instructions were pretty straightforward. The parts can be involved one by one, so that you're not lifting a whole fan up. The fan has 3 speed levels, and it is pretty quiet. The fan seems sturdy and durable.
