I originally fell for the very modern and simplistic look of this fan, but after having installed it, am completely wowed! I spray painted it to match my decor, and it applied flawlessly. Installation was fairly easy, and it completely transformed the look of my room. It tends to be a bit stuffy at night, but this fan REALLY cools it down. I thought the remote was a little much, but now that I've experienced it...I can't imagine life without it. Not only does it control the fan speed, but it also dims the light (perfect for bedtime!)
