AWESOME FAN/BAD INSTRUCTIONS
This ceiling fan has real wooden blades. Each blade is comprised of more than one piece of wood, but they're aesthetically pleasing and quite light. The LED light has a very easily-adjusted warmth setting. Most importantly, the default audible *BEEP* after every selection and ON/OFF is mutable! The one aspect of this product that can ruin the entire install is the directions - they're terrible, and can lead anyone to ignore their better judgement and install improperly. For example: the 4 supplied mounting screws in the very first step are NOT self-tapping. Attempting to screw this soft metal into solid wood without a pilot hole will result in stripped screws, so have a drill bit on hand a size smaller than the core of the screws provided - in other words, DRILL PILOT HOLES! The alternative method for mounting this item is far less stable. Several illustrations are misleading, and the syntax of printed instructions can also be a bit confusing. At one point, the instructions direct the installer to loosen screws on the motor... which means loosen screws in the mounting stem to accept the down pipe, DO NOT LOOSEN THE MOTOR SCREWS! When finally placing the built fan assembly, the instructions correctly hint at lining up a groove to lock into place, but the illustration shows a completely wrong orientation! My fan blades didn't need any balancing, but I took great care to space the blades appropriately in the initial blade-mounting step. There was no way the included balancing kit was going to work for this style fan blade, but gosh these blades are pretty! Assembling the down pipe and associated coverings could've been confusing if not for common sense. At initial POWER-ON, the fan doesn't spin, which is brilliant for safety. The light will turn on and a *BEEP* can be heard to let you know everything is awesome. For the money, this is the nicest fan I could get ahold of. I highly recommend it. Read more
