We are thrilled with this purchase.  Fans tend to be ugly and noisy, this is neither.  This fan is beautiful and very effective, yet super quiet.  After looking at many fans, we are thrilled with our choice.  Only 4 stars because I had to purchase a 36" downrod from another source.  It would have been much easier if there had been an option to purchase with the fan, rather than track down the suitable rod.  Super fan for the price.
