I love that the blades are reversible, with different finishes on each side. It looks beautiful and fits in with my antique/ vintage style decor perfectly. The opal glossy globe brings the entire look together. The low profile design is perfect for my enclosed porch because of the ceiling being so much lower. I will be getting one for my kids bedroom too, the smaller, compact size is perfect for a room with bunk beds. The long pull chain is easy for the kids to use themselves safely.
