I bought 4 of these, as the price was phenomenal.  Fans went up and in very easy.  The alignment with the glass and the cap for the chain to pull through could use a guide of some sort, as the chain tends to rub when pulling for the light or fan.  My -only- complaint.  Otherwise, an amazing value.  
The blades are definitely silver, with a dark wood back (more cherry than walnut in terms of dark).
