Everything about this fan is great; from the strong and stable ceiling mount to the cool looking motor housing to the included remote control (which I was not expecting). Except that installing the fan blades is a royal pain in the you know where. I've installed 30 or so ceiling fans over the years (mostly Hunter), and I've never been so aggravated, agitated, and frustrated when installing the fan blades. The slots to pass the fan blades through to get to the mounting plates for the fan blades are very tight on the blades, and you need to line up (angled on both the vertical and horizontal) the holes in the fan blades with the holes in the mounting plates exactly, all while holding the screw and your screwdriver. A third hand really is a necessity for installing these fan blades. So, 5 stars drops to 3 stars.
