This fan looks great and was relatively easy to install. We have a bit of a coastal theme at our house and this fan added the perfect touch to our office. The color of the blades blends in perfectly with our decor. The fan runs quietly and creates a very good amount of air circulation. Our office has computers and electronics running at all times, creating heat in the room. This fan cools down the room with a comfortable, quiet breeze. I love that the light is dimmable, making it perfect for working in the early morning or late at night. One very neat thing about this fan is that the blades are reversible. If you prefer a white finish over the Gray Oak, just turn the blades over for a completely different, but still beautiful, look. I plan on buying two or three more for other rooms in the house.
