We decided to put this ceiling fan up in our living because our old one was 20 years old and outdated. This ceiling fan has 5 blades and is a beautiful light color to match the furniture in our living room already. The dome light is bright and  can easily light up the living room area. The fan is silent on any set speed. We mounted the controlled to the wall so we can always find the remote when needed. The ceiling fan installation took roughly about 30 minutes to complete the swap. The instructions are easy to follow and made the installation a breeze with only two people. Thia ceiling fan has given our whole living room a completely different look when you first
 walk in and I couldn't be happier with it.
