I was looking for a ceiling fan for my bedroom, but don't care for the look of traditional ceiling fans with light kits. This is beautiful and works great. My dad installed, and had no problems, except it was a little difficult to fit the wires in the canopy--really not a big deal. Very quiet and moves a lot of air! I love having the remote function, too--no chains to pull. I also like that the blades have less exposed area, so there is less dust accumulation. I was worried it would be a little big for my 10x12 bedroom, but it works really well and is a showpiece.
