Will this support a ceiling fan?
I'm looking to replace a light fixture with a ceiling fan. I'd like to know if this bracket will support a ceiling fan or if I need to replace it.

I can take other pictures if needed. Thanks!

Welcome to the forums.
Good pictures ! No further are needed.
That is not a fan rated box.
However, you're in good shape to change it with the ceiling open.
This type of box is easy to install with open access. There are others available.

The medallion under a ceiling fan canopy with no sheetrock support may allow the fan to wobble.

I failed to mention, too, that the brace onto which your box is attached won't work, either. You can get a brace and box in a kit which will be compatible. 15.5 cu. in. Retrofit Ceiling Fan Saf-T-Brace-0110000 - The Home Depot
