Hunter 59135 Key Biscayne Ceiling Fan 54 inches Weathered Zinc

I love this fan so much that I have TWO of them! I saw the reviews where people were having difficulties with the installation. It is my hope that my review can help others so that installation is a breeze like it was for us.First, just FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. They are better than most and in plain English. The hardware is marked in shape-coded bags that are provided in each step. Pay close attention to these shapes in every step and you’ll be fine!When mounting the ceiling bracket plate, we installed a thick washer on each screw anchor at ceiling before mounting plate, so that the small round cover would mount flush with ceiling. You will want to test the small cover against the plate holes to make sure they line up before you continue to second step!! Grab a couple of washers before you get started as we needed them for both fans, so this must always be an issue.When assembling the fan blades, you’ll want to screw the smaller, decorative 5-sided piece onto the side of the blade that you want pointing down (showing in your room) and place the bracket arm on the upper (non-visible) side of the blade so that the metal finish appears “INSIDE-OUT”!!! This is very important and is clearly illustrated in the directions. If you don’t, the bracket arm will rub on the light hood. Hold the fan blade with desired side down...line up the smaller piece underneath to the screw holes as you look down through them...line up the bracket on top, recessed side up, and insert the screws. (This will all make sense when you have in-hand.)When assembling with screws that must be anchored to notched-out slits in the metal framework, just back them out a little until the mounting will turn easily to set. You’ll see this in two sections of assembly. It sounds difficult. It ISN’T!My husband and I installed two of these fans in under two hours. You’ll want to purchase two 75-watt, 1100 lumens LED bulbs to replace the ones that the company provides, otherwise you won’t have much light at all through the thick, frosted globe.The directions explain clearly how to wire for one- or two-switch control as well.This fan is well-made, GORGEOUS and quiet. It’s PERFECT for my nautical theme decorating!Highly recommend!

Easy to install - other than mine is hung from a 12-foot ceiling, and I had to purchase a 36" down rod. But the fan itself works great. Completely quiet. And it looks great.

We love this fan. Has an outdoors porch light vibe, the paddles are very nice in color. 2 tone on one side and a bit lighter single color on 2nd side. The light fixture is really nice. To install it takes a bit of time. This is a bit complex compared to cheaper box store fan lights.

Love the look, nice and quiet. Only negative is you have to completely remove the globe to change fan direction every season. Never ever have I had to do this. Huge design flaw imo. I want another one to match in next room, but this is making me wait until they change this.

Needed to replace the fan in my daughters' bedroom. She's all about Japanese style these days and she liked this design. I wouldn't call the installation easy, lots of parts and screws, and one section of the instructions was in reverse order, so I had to backtrack a little. It's pretty heavy, but it went together eventually (about two hours). Wiring instruction is easy to understand. Hardest part was getting the balance just right, but with some fiddling it spins perfectly.One thing I will mention though...replacing the light bulbs will be somewhat tedious, as the fan has to be partially disassembled (frame and globe) with very small screws. This isn't the cheap easy screw in bulb type fixture. But LED lighting mitigates this somewhat by its long-life span. Overall, very pleased.

This fan is for an outdoor covered patio. We don’t use it often but it works as expected when we do and has a very unique look. The remote is super easy to use and handy. We don’t use the light much so I can’t speak to that. So far happy with the purchase, which is nearly a year old.

We purchased this fan as we wanted something to go with the farmhouse look. It's a great fan so far and you can never go wrong with Hunter fans, they just last for decades. The last one we took out and gave to a friend. Easy to install, two shades color for blades, no noise and has a good high fan for cooling

The fan arrived quickly, was easy to install, looks great, and works very well.Installation: The installation process was fast an easy. As someone who is pretty familiar with fan & light installation, it went up without any problems just by following the instructions closely. If you know how to follow directions, then this should be easy for just about anyone. I will say, I was working under pretty ideal conditions: brand new, fan-grade electrical box, with plenty of wire.Operation: The fan works flawlessly! At it's highest setting, it's pretty quiet and would fade into background noise quickly. And it moves air very well. On an 86-degree day in a room with poor air conditioning, turning on the fan immediately made the room feel cooler (probably by helping to circulate what little AC reached the room. The light uses 2 CFL bulbs that do take a few minutes to warm up to their full brightness. Once at that level, it gives off a decent level of light -- enough probably to read by in the room, but you might still be straining. Lighting is definitely more for ambiance than utility.Looks: The fan does look nice. The rustic blades and lamp are very attractive for our room. It does strike me as more of an outdoors-style fan, but it doesn't look completely out of place inside. For the room we're in (8-ft ceilings), it's probably hangs a little too low, even on it's shortest downrod option. But we're keeping it because it works great otherwise.Pros: Easy installation, moves air very well, looks niceCons: No remote, lighting a little too dim
