It's beautiful to look at, and it functions well. I especially appreciate the 6 speeds. My electrician set it up to power on/off from a wall switch, and I use the remote to set the speed. It is quiet, and at level 2 it gives me just enough air while I watch TV or read. I bump it up to level 3 on occasion. I think the higher levels would move a lot of air, which is not necessary for me. I have 9 ft ceilings. I looked hard and long for just the right fan, and I took a chance, as I was not familiar with this brand. I'm very pleased.
