My engineer husband was very impressed with the construction of the fan. "Very well designed." It is great for a small room and once assembled, it doesn't rattle or shimmy at all. Very powerful air is provided by the highest setting and the fan blades can be reversed to black or dark espresso brown. The only thing I would suggest is not using the provided lightbulbs. They are a warm light which doesn't look good with the style of this fan. We swapped for a neutral light color and it really upgraded the look of the room.
