The fan is gorgeous!  All the crystals reflect the lights when they're on and it just brightens up the room.  Having the remote control is especially nice because it's difficult for me to get up and down all the time to adjust the fan or the lights.  I only have 2 complaints:  1) the fan is very heavy so my son-in-law had to put a couple of extra braces in the ceiling because I live in a mobile home and the ceilings aren't very sturdy.  2) the directions weren't very clear and my son-in-law had some difficulty putting it all together and getting the wiring done right.
