This is the 2nd time I've purchased this item because I love the look.  The 1st time was about 6 months ago, the remote and motor stopped working but without the box, I didn't try to return it (although I still have), I just bought a replacement. It arrived last week and the remote doesn't work so when I turn on the light, the fan comes on with it and with no working remote, the fan can't be turn off or the speed adjusted :(
