This seems like a well constructed fan. The blades are wood and only silver on the bottom, and there is a significant low hum when the fan is on (though after a few days I don't notice it as much, and it's no worse than our other lower priced fans). It took a few tries to find a light that worked too. We ended up putting in a 100 watt equivalent halogen bulb. The light output is not much. It would be dim as the only light in a room. We use supplemental floor lamps so it's not a big deal. Overal, we are happy with it. The look is sleek and contemporary like we wanted, and the remote is a great feature.

Pros: Looks nice, good breeze
Cons: Finding suitable bulb, low light output, low hum
