Even more beautiful in person. Very contemporary. The remote is not nearly as attractive as the fan and it's white which is odd considering the fan is all black. Why not a sleek black remote? I appreciate that the fan can be set on a timer using the remote. That's a nice feature. I purchased two for bedrooms and a different one for my living room, but wish I would have purchased the same for the living room. It really is a stunning, contemporary fan.
