When I think of a smart fan, I think of something dull and not very eye-appealing. This fan dispelled all those notions. I loved the way it was packaged, with all parts separated by styrofoam and plastic, so no parts were scratched or damaged. It has a very detailed instruction booklet that was easy to follow. Everything you need except the tools is included, even batteries for the remote. It took me and my husband about 2 hours for full assembly and installation. We installed it in our bedroom. We used the lighter side of the fan blades so that they brightened up our room. I absolutely love that we can control it with our Alexa.
