This fan is extremely quiet and has a very unique but universal look. The wall controlls for the fan is all push button, so no strings or chains to pull. The lighting is a dimer light that you control with the wall panel, the fan also has 3 settings and can be reversed while running with just the push of a button. The fan and the wall panel were both easy to install and did not require a professional. The fan speeds are amazing with the amount of air that gets blown around.
