This ceiling fan is stylish and looks great in our family room. It is very easy to install and took less than an hour with one person (if I didn't have to troubleshoot the RF receiver installation it would have been much quicker). I installed the short rod because it is located in front of a TV and the bottom of the light easily clears the view at 11.5 inches from the ceiling. I did not put on the motor cover so I could have access to the reversal switch and it doesn't look that bad after removing the unsightly stickers - you might notice it right away because your attention is drawn to it right after installation but I don't give it much thought any more. The fan is so quiet you can barely tell it's on when on low or medium and with high the only sound is the air movement. The light is very bright and although it would be nice if it dimmed down a little more, I didn't get it as a nightlight so it's not a big deal for me. It would be nice if you could change the light bulbs because everyone has different preferences for light but I like the bright LED.
Some tips on installation:
1. Put the whole fan together first
2. The RF receiver fits in the hanging bracket with a tight fit and will be difficult to maneuver if you attach the wires before putting it in place. I recommend putting the RF receiver in the bracket first, then put the fan in the bracket, and then attach all of the wires.
3. I installed the switch (sold separately) and the remote and I'm glad I did. I hung the remote on the opposite side of the room so it allows us to control it from both sides.
