I wanted this fan in wood grain for a long time while it was out of stock. Now I’ve got it and - meh. For one, the wood grain isn’t nearly as defined in person as it is in the pictures. The effect is that it is merely brown. Further, it’s not strong at all!!! I had wanted it to replace my ugly old table top which sits on my dresser but it definitely won’t. I think in a bathroom, or other small enclosed place, it might be more effective.
