This is a stylish looking ceiling fan.  The blades are black and have a nice thickness and solid look.  It has great features that can be utilized with a remote.  I like that it has dimmable lights and a feature called home shield to simulate occupancy while your away which will turn the light off and on multiply times.  In addition to the normal speeds it simulates a breeze in nature on a variable breeze option.  This fan is a great addition to our home,
