My husband was freaking out when I bought this.  I wanted to spruce up the bedroom with this fan.  And I did.  After all the complaining that I was asking him mount a ceiling fan he also ended up really liking the fan and he likes to run it constantly on low setting.   the fan and the crystal look modern and classy.   I get lots of compliments when I show my bedroom to visitors.  We didn't figure out how to dim the lights until we held the button down on the remote control and then that dimmed the lights.  There is wire that holds the crystals in place and we thought it would be a noisy fan but to our surprise it is very very quiet.  no rattles or any noise at all.  we bought led bulbs that dim and we couldn't be happier with it.
