I hate ceiling fans, but I need them because of my tall ceilings. This makes me LOVE my ceiling fans again. This is a beautiful touch of glamour with needed utility. I love it so much that I bought two. I had an electrician install them for me. The only complaint that he had was that it actually had to be completely assembled. I don't know how long it took him to install them, but it was worth every penny. They are beautiful.
