Great fan, moves a lot of air but has a noticeable motor hum (not horrible just the dull drone), nice low profile design. Paint finish on the white is possible semi-gloss but I would call it eggshell. I bought the hunter wall remote (at 50% of what the fan cost) because this handheld remote looked awful and has an odd switch plate mount; none of which was going to work with my style or needs. LED lights included give off plenty of light. I assembled most of the fan before hanging it to limit time working overhead, just remember to leave one blade of or you might not be able to hook the canopy to the mounting plate.
