What I expected and more.  Its such a unique piece and beautiful focal point in our family room. Its the first thing you see and its conversation piece for such.  Few of our friends wanted a demonstration of how the fans works.  I the breeze wonderful and very quiet.  And best of all, its LED and I will never need to change a light bulb.  There are three lighting setting which is nice, however its not as bright as was hoping but still give a lot of lighting on the brightest setting.  Our fixture was not wired to switch so I installed the remote on the wall next to our alarm system...worked our perfectly!  We had our handyman install the fixture so I cannot comment on the installation.  I would recommend and would purchase again.
