I love this fan! I hate the look of ceiling fans but this one is nice. it is a chandelier with a fan in it, a fan D'lier! The bottom section that covers the fan rotates so you can have the fan multi-directional or you can stop the rotating section and have the fan blow in one direction.  JOSS AND MAIN in the 'questions and answers' section of this fan said that the lights can not be dimmed.  They are WRONG!!! You press and hold down the light button on the remote and the lights dim or brighten!  This fan is quiet and looks great!
