Well this modern 3 blade fan was certainly an upgrade from the 20 year old wood grain and brass light one we had before. I chose the solid black color. No lights on this on but that’s ok! I love it. It’s vert sleek and runs smoothly. Very quiet which is always a concern when choosing a new fan. The blades are a heavy plastic that doesn’t look cheap once installed. The only negative is that if you are not familiar with wiring, there is nothing whatsoever in the instructions that tell you how to match the wires up. Definitely get an electrician to put it in if you don’t know how. The directions in general can be a bit cryptic, and you really have to think things through to figure out how all the pieces go together but somehow we did it. If you have a wall switch, you can turn the fan off and on that way, but you will use the remote as well. The remote requires you to firmly press to make a connection for the fan to react. Overall very happy!
