One of the first fans that I needed to read the instruction for to assemble. But, the instructions were easy to follow and flowed smoothly. The only deviation that I did was to let the decorative wires on the sides hang down while I actually hung and wired the fan. That allowed me to have plenty of room to do the wiring. It was easy to resecure the decorative wires after the wiring. The light is bright and the fan works well. Very slight wobble at the highest fan setting, but I doubt I’ll ever need to run the fan that fast. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this fan and love the look. The finish is exactly as pictured.
