Easy to install-just takes a little time, but if you follow the instructions and steps you should have no problem. The fan looks great I am very satisfied, and I was surprised how much light is provided by the 2 60 watt bulbs. I was a little concerned about how much light it would give off by reading prior comments, but after installing there is ample light for our average size bedroom. We haven't used the fan yet, but in just a trial run it seems very quiet and should be just fine for summer use.
