Once we received the kit to make it a ceiling hugger and bought a ceiling medallion (from a different company) to hide the old ceiling paint where our old fan was, this fan became much more stylish. It is quiet and has a wireless controller which is very convenient, especially during the middle of the night when it's too hard to get out of bed for a wall switch! The light works well for our master bedroom which is where we installed it. Perfect shade of clean, bright white.
