Couldn't decide which fan would look best in the living room- wanted modern but not too farm-housey. This style looks great! Exactly as pictured. The remote works well and makes operation very easy. The light dims, that was very important to me. Install took about an hour but, it's been awhile since we installed a fan. A quick youtube tutorial link is offered- pretty helpful. All in all you cant beat the price for this look- other wood propeller fans cost upwards of $500+
