I bought two of these fans for small extra bedrooms in my house.  The installation was moving in the right direction....up to a point and then an extra set of hands became very helpful for the attachment of the blades.  Other than that, it was a breeze (pun intended).  I think the fans are attractive in their simplicity.  I'm fine with the wall control with which others have had an issue.  I can't even hear the fan on the low setting which is where I think it will normally be set.  The low speed produces enough air movement to provide a gentle breeze.  The higher settings make more air-flow noise...not a mechanical noise and of course, more air circulation.
