I dislike ceiling fans, but the one that came with our house was outdated and ugly, and my husband didn’t want to give up the practicality of a fan. This was a good compromise. It looks sleek and modern. We had an electrician install. The kind of wall switch we have for the fan is one of those round dimmer kinds, and the fan twitches a bit when we change the speed of the fan with the switch. The electrician explained that the twitch is due to the kind of cage in the fan. He said it’s nothing to worry about, but thought others who have this kind of switch may want to know.

The blades are also reversible: I chose a weathered gray color and the reverse side is a light, unfinished wood look.
