Make sure to open immediately and check for missing parts. I bought this as a gift for Christmas. When it was opened this week for installation there were multiple missing parts as well as no installation instructions.  There was an additional, extra long down rod in the box that didn't belong with the fan in the box.  It's almost as if it was a returned item that was resold. The fan itself is quite nice and everything they wanted in a fan - even if they did have to find replacement parts before they could install it.
