It was time to replace the ugly old fan that was in my bedroom when we bought our house. Wanted something modern, that would blend into the ceiling, and wasn’t a ton of money. This fit the bill. I didn’t really need or want a light. But I couldn’t find what I wanted without. The light doesn’t bother me. I like it even more now that it’s up than the pics online. Took my husband who is very handy an hour total to remove the old fan and install this one.
