Nice fan but...
The fan is an overall nice purchase. I agree with the previous comments that it does not shed enough light but this is not a problem unless the light fixture is intended as the primary light source for a room. My only complaint relates to the light shades. They are advertised as being made of fabric. Unfortunately, the shades are merely a heavy paper product and this lack of quality detracts from the overall presence of the fan in the room.
Great Ceiling Fan
Unlike the other reviewer, I did not find it particularly hard to install. I have installed 3 ceiling fans during the past 2 months, and 2 of them were Hunter ceiling fans. Other than the fact that this one is quite heavy being a 54-inch fan, there was nothing that gave me a hard time during the installation. If you have a traditional style living room or bedroom, this fan will look great. It takes candelabra-base bulbs, and with four 40W incandescent bulbs our living room seemed kinda gloomy. So we switched to 60W equivalent CFL bulbs. These were regular spiral CFLs with candelabra base. They fit inside the shades without much clearance, so it does not look like any CFL will work. Anyway, we are very satisfied with this purchase, and this fan has drawn a lot of compliments from our guests.
Good quality
Although these fans are a bit pricy, they are high quality, reliable and well worth your purchase. I have purchased three of these for my current home after owning Hunter brand fans in my previous home that were going strong after 10 years with no issues. These fans are quiet, operate smoothly and installing isn't that difficult as long as you follow the instructions. These fans will provide a long time of use and Hunter stands behind their fans as well with their warranty.
The Cortland is priced about the same here as elsewhere.
