We bought this fan to update the look in our hearth room.  Replaced an older fan that was not a "ceiling hugger".  Put up the mounting bracket, installed the motor and wired it up.  Then I could not get the housing over the bracket.  Bracket was about 1/16" in wider than the housing.  After trying to bend bracket with no success, I had to remove everything and take down the bracket.  Took a Channellock to the bracket to bend it in far enough to slip the housing over it.  Re-mounted bracket, motor, wired it, and housing slipped over it, but needed a magnetic screwdriver to get the screws inserted into bracket.  Instructions were good.  Necessary screws clearly identified in manual.  Fan looks great.
