This ceiling fan was just what we needed for our outdoor patio! It was very easy to install and didn't take long at all to do so. I must say it looks great and it puts off a lot of cool air. It is 5 blades meaning even more cooler for those hot days. We get tons of compliments and we also enjoy being outside now talking and enjoying the day with our family and friends. I love the color and plan on purchasing another just like it for our front porch!
