Bought this fan for an attic space remodel and was looking for something modern that wouldn't break the bank. Its a bit cheap looking and feeling and I was unaware there was no remote included. It's obviously my fault for not checking to see if it had a remote, but I bought 9 ceiling fans 2 years ago when we built our new house and everyone of them came with a remote, so I just assumed this one would too. The wall switch is backwards because the highest setting is the lowest speed and vice versa. I actually threw out the wall switch and bought a nicer model that is similar to a traditional fan switch.
