I gave it 1 star for it's aesthetics but everything else is a nightmare. The color is darker than depicted but it is still a beautiful fan. The light kit makes it more of a stylish chandelier rather than a ceiling fan. It took my husband, who is a contractor, 5 hours to install because of multiple mistakes in the instructions. This was after a call to customer service because one of the parts didn't match the picture in the instructions. Once the fan was finally installed we discovered we had 2 wall switches and no remote control....another call to customer service. I will never order another product.
