I think this fan looks awesome. And the fan itself functions. However, we have had it up for about 6 months and the finish on the blades are peeling off. It's like they are made out of paper over cardboard. I absolutely do not expect this to happen on an almost $500 fan. I've never even had this happen on a $100 fan. I've attached a photo. We don't clean it with any product or touch it. We only dust it with a dry duster. I would send it back if it weren't such a hassle to have an electrician uninstall it and then have to reinstall a new one.
