When I was installing this fan it didn’t take long at all. It only took about an hour to install. It has the option of switching which way you use it clockwise in the winter or counterclockwise in the summer. It has 3 speeds and is easy to change with the pull chain. It is made from high quality materials so it’s very durable. The blades are reversible So you can change sides when you want. This is perfect for out on my porch. I also get a lot of compliments on my new fan.  I definitely  recommend this style of a fan for any room inside or for your porch.
