although we are happy with this purchase because it is the best looking fan in this price range it was not overly impressive during installation. We've installed many fans for friends and family over the years and we definitely found this one to be more of a struggle to get right the first time.  We also agree with another reviewer that mentioned how bulky and unsleek the remote is. We would have mounted it on the wall but we are instead planning to tuck it away in a drawer. Funny enough I would still recommend it because everything else looks so clumsy with % blades, we love the 3 blade look.  We bought it in Silver and oiled bronze.
