I very much am enjoying this light fixture. We had a normal ceiling fan over our dining table when we moved in and it always seemed weird and just not as pretty. It did come in handy to use the fan though when cooking and it gets smoky. So, finding this light was the perfect solution and I’m so glad I came across it! The fan is pretty quiet, but you do hear it. To be as small as it is compared to a normal fan, it is pretty powerful and puts off a good breeze directly below it. Off to the side you still feel it but just not as strong. And I lovveeee the way the crystal looking pieces refract light onto the ceiling. It’s just so stylish and I am very pleased with my purchase!
