Very easy to install and doesn't wiggle while on, but during the first week of using it, the motor shut off and hummed but didn't move and you had to Kickstart it like a plane but after the first week I've never had problems again. The people who are saying the fan doesn't circulate probably have it in reverse because it blows very hard and is a great fan. The only downside is the light, it's pretty dim but you can still see perfectly fine. 4/5 stars great fanThis fan was purchased for my 6MO son's room.I gave this fan 5 stars for the unique and "cool" factor that it has. When I received the box, I opened it to check out what was involved to install this. It is very similar to all other direct ceiling mounted fans. You can not install a down rod if you want. It mounts directly to the ceiling. Mine does not sit very flush to the ceiling, but that did not seem to matter. It spins very steady.The instructions include Canadian requirements, but they are not a bad idea to follow for US installs. The Canadian requirements include the "J-Bolt" for added safety, should the fan somehow fall from the ceiling (you are supposed to mount it on a framing member, but... some don't see how it matters...).Initial inspection was that it was flimsy plastic housing with a pathetic looking motor, but the motor is great. The housing is flimsy plastic, but it's merely for cosmetics and has nothing to do with it's stability.If you have the separate light and fan switches in your wall, I recommend replacing them with fan and light controls (variable speed and brightness). The setup of this fan does not lend itself well to a remote control.The included light is a candelabra type, single bulb that is not very bright to begin with. A dim-able LED replacement is in my future. The bulb is bright enough for my son, for now.The pull chains do detract from the look, but they could be necessary.On High setting, the fan moves a lot of air. On Low setting, not so much. Medium seems to be pretty good for air movement, while not blowing paper all over the room.It's a great fan from a reputable manufacturer. Craftmade fans are great fans.I bought both the P-40 and F-4 ceiling fans to decorate my son's rooms. I have no complaints with the fans, everything went together fairly easily and they worked well for about 8 years and were still going when we sold the house. The dismal lighting that others have mentioned can be remedied by replacing the small appliance bulb with a super bright LED from Amazon, but make sure you get one that is short enough to fit in the globe.Bought this for my son's bedroom...thought something a little out of the ordinary would be nice. Fan seems of pretty decent quality, and it's REALLY hard to tell if the blades are real wood or plastic, and woodworking is one of my hobbies! Turns out they're plastic. Had the old fan removed and this one installed in about an hour. Very straightforward installation...mounting hardware is of good quality, and the bracket that mounts to the ceiling box has a hook on it so you can hang the motor on it while you do the wiring.With only two blades, the fan doesn't move much air, so this fan is only good for a small room. Low speed is worthless for air movement...it's just for ambiance. :) Medium is fair, high is pretty good. You can hear relays clicking in the fan when changing fan speeds, but the fan is very quiet in operation. Included 50W halogen light is dimmable, but it doesn't put out much light at its brightest setting, so plan on having a few table lamps if you want to read or work on something that requires good eyesight. Doesn't look like you can put a 100W bulb in their either...there's a metal bracket mounted at the tip of the bulb to prevent installing a longer bulb. Would have been nice if a regular CFL could have been used instead of the tiny halogen bulb included, but that's what you get with a fan like this.Overall though, it's a nice fan. Hope the son likes it.Bought for my son’s room and it’s very dark. Need a lamp for him to read.If you have ever set up a ceiling fan before, this fan is stupid simple to install by yourself. It comes with a hook in the fan plate and a small steel cable with a loop in the motor body so you can hook up the body to the fan plate and let it hang while you connect all the wires you need.There is also a slot and slide system on the slide of the fan plate. This allows you to slide the motor body over the fan plate and rest the weight of the fan there while you screw in the last few screws to fully secure it in place.The light cover just screws in. No tiny retainer bolts to mess with.If there was one thing I didn't like (and only someone with OCD would care about this) is that the two slits in the fan plate (which connect to the ceiling outlet) are only cut in the north/south or east/west positions. The reason why this is important is because it dictates how the body of the fan (which is why most of us chose this fan) is viewed in the room. For example, when my son walks in the room or from where he sleeps at night, he can only see an oblique view of the fan and not a full side view. Again, super ticky tacky complaint, but just trying to give full disclosure here.i love the look of this fan- even though it was expensive, i went for it because it was so light-hearted and frivolous, i thought it was perfect. it looks great, but the light is SO DIM it's rather worthless... and then, the remote control totally stopped working after a few years... i have to take it apart to have it fixedExcellent
