THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:This does not come with batteries or light bulbs.You will need an A23 battery for the remote.You will need an AAA for the wall mountYou will need e26 light bulbs, but ST19 fit just fine (what we used)Now, onto the review:If you have installed fans before, this may be a cake walk for you. For those of us who have never installed a fan, it was… difficult to say the least. The directions could not be followed in order due to awkward installation and screw placement. So if you do not have the patience (in our case stubborn persistence) to figure it out, do not attempt this fan.With that aside, I purchased this fan on sale/used. I was not expecting much, but quality is solid. This is a well built fan. Better than the cheap ugly ones I saw at various large box stores for 3x the price. Despite it being “used” it came with everything in tact and nothing missing, so win win for us!This fan is more beautiful than any other fan I saw in those large box stores. It is exactly what I was looking for and what I was not finding.This fan is quiet. If it was not for the feel of the air flow from the fan running, we would not know it was on. Which is great since we have it in our living room and would prefer a fan not competing with our tv.I am happy I took the chance on this despite the negative reviews regarding installation.
