This fan is beautiful and very solidly built. It's whisper quiet, and doesn't wobble in the slightest. The remote is very sensitive - I keep it on the wall not pointed anywhere near the fan and it works great. Be aware that if you can't use the long downrod (8 inch) and have to use the short one (6 inch), you won't be able to use the decorative three wires connecting the upper part of the fan with the lower part.
