This ceiling fan turned out to be everything I wanted in a fan for my living room and I'm happy with it. I added a ceiling medallion (Ekena Millwork CMP19TR Traditional Thermoformed PVC Ceiling Medallion) and spray painted the medallion antique bronze to match the fan. Like any ceiling fan, there were the usual challenges to installation, but I installed it on my own and it was pretty straightforward.The fan is exceptionally quiet at all speeds, with little more than the sound of moving air generated, and it operates very smoothly. I preferred the lighter colorizing of one side of the fan blades, which gives them more contrast with the dark bronze of the motor housing and blade holders (the darker side of the blades was too close to antique bronze for me). Since the fan was installed on an 8-foot ceiling, it was important for it to be low profile, and at 12 3/4 inches (not including pull chains but including medallion) the fan does not feel in the way at all.I would buy this fan again if I needed a low-profile ceiling fan for another room. The fact that it is a Hunter fan gives it a little more credibility for a future home buyer that might judge the quality of the fan based on the brand. It was also very reasonably priced. I looked at hundreds of fans on Amazon, bought and returned a different fan, and finally settled on this one. Whether lucky or smart, I ended up with the right fan for my purposes.
