We Got A Fandelier For The Bedroom! (Here’s My Honest Review)

And honesty, after studying all your feedback (which had been very divided), I made a decision that it was in all probability finest if we simply caught with our common ceiling fan. I’m prepared to compromise on some issues, however my high quality of sleep isn’t one in all them. So after studying all your feedback, I had determined that I used to be going to maintain the ceiling fan we had and possibly paint the silver components gold after which flip the blades in order that the lighter wooden shade on the opposite facet of the blades exhibits as a substitute of this actually darkish brown shade.

I had not solely learn all your feedback and enter, however at that time, I had additionally prepared at the least 200 buyer evaluations on the fandeliers that I believed would possibly look good in our bed room. These buyer evaluations had been additionally combined, so that they didn’t assist persuade me {that a} fandelier would work for us. However then somebody posted a hyperlink to this Katia fandelier from Ballard Designs (affiliate hyperlink). And naturally, I instantly needed it. This was the prettiest fandelier I had seen.

I liked every part about this, from the form to the beaded design. And whereas it doesn’t have many evaluations, all the evaluations it does have are five-star evaluations. Clearly, that caught my consideration. However it additionally has a reasonably heft price ticket to go together with it. Whereas many of the fandeliers I had checked out had been within the $150-$300 vary, this one was simply over $1500.

So I got down to search for one thing related — beaded, 20″ vast, and the fan positioned on the backside with the lights above. And that search led me to this 20″ beaded fandelier from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink). It isn’t as fairly because the one from Ballard Designs, however it’s a fraction of the worth at $152. And it has a 4.9 score out of 20 evaluations. So we determined to provide it a attempt.

Once I unboxed it, I used to be so excited as a result of it was stunning! However then upon nearer inspection, I believed it was damaged as a result of two of the wires that held the beads had been free. I believed that they had damaged, so I used to be ready to ship it again and get one other one. However first, I made a decision to take the steel cowl off and see if it was really damaged or if the wires had merely come free. Because it seems, the little steel items that maintain the wires in place had simply come free (or they weren’t tightened sufficient within the first place) and had slid off, however they had been nonetheless there. So I simply put these again on, tightened them, hooked them into the steel piece, after which put the duvet again on. It was a very simple repair.

The set up was fairly easy. I needed to transfer the mattress out of the best way in order that I might get the ladder in place contained in the mattress base. That was the toughest a part of the entire course of. So I took down the ceiling fan and put in the fandelier whereas Matt was on his train bike. The entire course of went very easily. And as soon as it was up, I liked the best way it regarded.

However after all, I used to be very curious concerning the fan. The fan seems so tiny, so I had my doubts that it could put out sufficient air stream for our liking. However let me let you know, I used to be incorrect to doubt! The fan has six speeds, and even on the lowest pace, it places out a whole lot of air stream!

This fan is perhaps tiny, however it’s mighty! And since the fan is positioned on the backside of the fixture, we don’t need to be proper beneath it to really feel it. I can really feel it simply superb after I’m sitting in mattress leaning in opposition to the headboard. I may even really feel it after I’m sitting in my recliner.

I’m really so shocked at how nicely this little fan works. Like I stated, we prefer to sleep in a chilly wind tunnel at evening, however it’s even an excessive amount of for us when the fan is on excessive. It has six speeds, and we’ve been sleeping with it on 4. This little fan on 4 (out of six speeds) feels just like the equal of our huge fan on medium (out of three speeds), which is the setting we at all times used on our huge fan throughout the evening. So I can’t think about that we’ll ever even wants to make use of the 2 highest settings on this one.

I’m so impressed with this fandelier. We haven’t had it very lengthy, however thus far, this will get a strong five-star score from me. I’m additionally very impressed with how quiet the fan is, even on the best setting.

I wasn’t capable of get footage of it from additional away as a result of simply as I completed up the set up, Matt was completed along with his train bike and needed to return to mattress and watch TV. I hoped he’d sit in his recliner for some time in order that I might get some good full-view footage, however he wasn’t feeling as much as that. So for now, I’ll simply share this one image from a distance the place you may see a glimpse of it within the background.
