The fan is great - solid, stable, quiet... Everything you'd expect from Hunter. I'm not WILD about the style of this fan, but it was the only one I could find that fit the bill. I needed a flush mount, low profile fan and this is that! It's just a little too art deco for me, but that is my only VERY minor complaint, and subjective one at that. Everything else is great. I installed it (twice, I bought two) by myself - instructions were generally very clear and easy to follow.
