This fan really is beautiful. A few things to note however, that made me give 4 stars instead of 5. (1) It was extremely difficult for me to find the bulbs that the directions indicate you should purchase with the lamp. There were not in stock in any hardware store (big box stores included) and I ended up having to buy them online. (2) The wattage of the bulbs that the instructions suggest you purchase is extremely dim. This is not enough light for a kitchen fan (which is where I have it installed).
