It is beautiful!  We are changing out "brass" to "black" in our 30 year old house.  I really appreciate all of the prior owner comments.  I wanted it for the fan and for the "look" and not for the light, so I was grateful for the prior owner comments on lighting.  Prior owner comments that the set up is not exactly quick was great intel--before starting installation, I already put the bulbs in and had the fan paddles set up and ready to go! Have to be honest, we do not need the remote, we are cool to turn on light and/or fan at the wall, so we did NOT install the receiver-the next homeowner will have to do that! And we get to donate our old, but perfectly fine, brass & white fan!
