We installed this fan in an outdoor pavilion, and have gotten many compliments on it. Even our general contractor was impressed with it, and couldn't believe that it came with a light kit and remote for such a low price. We live in a hot, humid area, and, so far, this fan is working fine. The blades are also a dark color on one side, which is the side we chose to have facing down so that it blends better with our decor.
