This is a beautiful fixture that gets lots of compliments whenever I have visitors. It's just such a shame that it's poorly designed... I cannot have the lights and the fan on at the same time because the fan causes a disorienting strobe effect. This was not mentioned in any of the reviews at the time I purchased it, and I also let the fan sit in my home past the return window before I got someone to install it, otherwise, I would have made a different selection/returned it. The fan is pretty powerful, though, so I'm glad for that.
