I purchased the aged brass finish and it looks great in my kitchen.  Everyone that has come in my home has complimented me on this ceiling fan, saying they have never seen one like it.  For small blades, it puts out a nice breeze in my small kitchen.  My only complaint is that you have to use the remote to turn it on and off, after I paid an electrician to wire a switch.  If you lose the remote, than you can't operate the light or fan. It has also come on by it self on several occasions.
