I have had the Blade Caged Ceiling Fan in brushed nickel in my master bedroom for almost a year. It really is lovely to look at and I've received several compliments. The three stars are related to functionality: 1. I am unable to use the remote to reverse the blade direction; instead, I have to climb a ladder to flip the switch at the ceiling base. 2. The air flow is good directly under the fan, but it is not good at a further radius away from the fan. 3. While the fan is very quiet at the lowest setting, the fan/air sound increases at higher settings. Overall, the light is beautiful and the fan works well enough for me because it is located almost directly over the bed but if you want more air flow further away from the fixture, you may wish to look further.
