I loved the look as well as the concept behind this fanlight however I realized too late that my ceiling does not have a center support to accommodate mounting it in the center of the dining room.  Well find another location to use it and update our review then

Ok, mounted this fan light in my kitchen. It was much easier to mount than I had thought.  It works with my wall switch but has a remote control as well. FYI. 2 screws were missing to lock the fan base in place and you will need a battery for the remote.  One quick trip to the hardware store took care of it.
