I could not be happier with how beautiful this fan is! I was worried about it looking a little 80s with the gold color, and I am so impressed!! It is a very matte, modern gold/bronze. The light fixtures are pefect and the shape of the blades really makes it look modern but sophisticated. I did end up buying a little dimmer bulb and I do with the dimmer on the remote worked like a normal dimmer switch. It seems there are only a couple of diffent dim levels. It is kind of strange. The dimmer for the fan speed is great! I really love this fan.
