This fan delivers all the glitz and glam you would ever want to brighten up a room.  The gems are brilliant and set around the fan perfectly.  I got the fan with the gold body finish which adds even more glamour to the fan.  It came package securely, so nothing was broken and was easy to unpack.  I have not installed it yet because the electrician has a back log right through now.  But I hope to have it up before the holidays so I can show it off when I decorate for Christmas.  With this fan the blades won’t be seen during the cold months but will look like a beautiful chandelier and during the hot months provide cooling air in the room.  The blades are plastic making them safe to clean. There are not many ceiling fans that you would save to pass down to grandchildren, but I hope mines will keeps this one if it is still working years from now.  I am including a picture pre-assembled.
