Review on 🏭 Vintage Industrial Ceiling Fan with Retractable Blades and Chandelier Light - 42 Inch Black, Remote Control Included by Erin Thomas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poorly designed, not assembled, random hardware, bad instructions for some other fans

First off, I'm a 50 year old engineer who has installed many ceiling fans to the point where I don't even need them anymore to (usually) read the instructions. This fan with a unique design tempted us to buy it and instructions are required for assembly. However, the <broken English> instructions apply to some other models. Although I figured out how to assemble it, I couldn't because of the physical handicap and also because the hardware wouldn't roll into the holes provided. It also included random fasteners (metal caps) for no apparent purpose, plus two concrete anchors. Maybe the ceilings in China are concrete, but I haven't lived in a house with a concrete ceiling, but thanks anyway. In addition, despite the fact that the blades are made of plastic and there is not even a full-size 52-inch fan, the device is very heavy, almost twice as much. the weight of an ordinary fan. I may need to install a concrete deck, then why were the anchors included?

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • not bad
