I like the look of this fan, matches our room perfectly.  We got it in the dark colour, not quite black which was perfect.  It isn't quite as quiet as I would like for a bedroom.  It is not terribly load, but at the higher speed it makes a bit of a swooshing sound.  We need to keep it at the lesser speeds for sleeping.  But it gives off enough cool air to keep us comfortable in our two story stone farmhouse that gets very little air conditioning on the second floor.  Satisfied overall.
