I really love this fan. It's hard to find a non-basic looking one so this for sure did it for me. I will say that the color is far darker than the stock photo but that works better for me anyway. The downrod that came with it wasn't enough for my room so we did have to buy that. It's pictured here with a 72" downrod which is 1/2" in diameter. They are hard to find as most are either 3/4" or 1" diameter. We got ours at Dan's Fan City.
