This is a great fan. We needed something simple, since we already have beams on the ceiling. It's simplistic design helps it blend in and not take away from the exposed beams. It does have a bit of a hum, and the lowest setting doesn't move much air. The hum is louder than the fan sound on the lowest setting, but it's not a problem on the higher settings. It's still quiet and enjoyable for our master bedroom! Overall, very pleased.
