We got the Oak version but the faux painted wood was much darker than the photos. Luckily we have a lot of black in the room so it still worked. I think the light didn't sit flush enough to the fan. At the right angle you can see inside but it's not bad enough to notice unless you just installed it and checking it all out. The directions could use some work too, need to take your time to understand. Missing a lot of key points that could help a DIY project even if you have skills. The fan functioned well with the remote.
