This fan is pretty cool. I ordered it to hang up in my kitchen over the island. Once I received it, I do not feel it goes in the kitchen. I will be hanging it in the bathroom that we are building. It is not done therefore the pics are of the fan still in the box. I will update the pictures once it is hung. The blades are clear plastic and my kitchen is pretty highly upgraded, that is why I do not want to hang it where I originally purchased the fan for. It would be great in a kids room, an office, a play room or game room I think.
