This ceiling fan was the perfect addition to the guest room in our new house. I looked for a long time for a fan that had a tropical feel without being a stereotypical "tropical" fan. It goes so well with the other light fixtures in the room I purchased from Wayfair. For a second there my electrician thought the fan motor was not working, but he checked the small switch that reverses the direction of blades, and it was in a neutral position, he just adjusted that and fan worked fine.
