We have this in our office and living room. The fans were installed by an electrician - because he was around doing other projects - and he said it was straight forward. I really like the look of the fan. My only disappointment was that because we didn't use/need the extended downrod (even with 9ft ceilings), we couldn't add the metal rods for aesthetics, which is dumb that you can't. The light is good but not great.
