I ordered this to add a modern twist to a mid centuryindustrial style home office. Unfortunately, construction of the room was unexpectedly slowed and this has not yet been installed. It does look beautiful out of the box though. It is not as shiny as I expected, more like brushed stainless or nickel. It is rather substantial and heavy. I hope the weight of the blades doesn’t cause balance issues. It comes with white gloves, the blades are covered in a film and are sharp on edges so be careful.  I can’t wait to see it installed! I’ll update after that.
