I love this fan so much!  First, it was actually easier to install than I had expected.  The instructions were clear so that really helped.  The fan color is just as described and very nice looking.  It is very quiet and just has a fan noise when on the high setting, which is perfect!  The pull cord is used to change the speed, off to low to medium to high.  The other pull cord is used to reverse the direction so when it's cold it can help blow the heat around.  Everything about this fan is just as described and works amazing!  I love this very much and would recommend to everyone!
