This was somewhat challenging to install per my son. Neither one of us was crazy about the fact that it didn't mount securely to the ceiling and had enough play in it that , when turned on high, the fan rocked back and forth. Once he put a couple rubber shims between the fan and the ceiling it didn't wiggle around. I like the fact that it has a remote and the remote works fine but it's really ugly and plain looking. The light is adequate, but not too bright. I like the contemporary design. For the price, I'm happy with it.
