This fan is absolutely gorgeous! The little extra time it takes to put together (took me 30 minutes to string the big crystals on the chains and 15 minutes to hang them on the light) is well worth it. The weight of all those real glass balls however does exceed all of the available brackets that would work with our rafters. We had to reinforce it with an additional cable.￼ The fan is quiet and does move quite a lot of air. It is completely undetectable when it’s folded up. ￼
