I put this up in my patio with the help of my husband. (I should say I read the directions as he put it up) It was very easy to install, just followed the directions. It definitely cools down my patio, especially since it has been so hot recently. My patio is not really big, so the fan does light up the whole area. The silver color goes with everything and fits nicely into my decor. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
