The good news is that the hood looks beautiful. The bad news is it was not so easy to hang. It came with only a parts list and very limited instructions on how to actually hang it. It took my husband and I quite a bit of time to figure it out and get it hung. But now that it is in place it looks gorgeous and much more expensive than it actually is. It’s fairly loud but nothing that would bother me in the short term. I would recommend this even with its degree of difficulty.
