Received this fan yesterday, and when I opened it I could not believe how beautiful and rich looking the brushed nickel and black fan blades looked together.  Can't wait to put it up in our bedroom.  We have a recessed ceiling and also purchased the matching 24" down rod.  We have 10 foot ceilings, so we want to make sure the air flow gets to us.  It is also a whisper wind motor so it should be quite and you do not have to use the light kit and comes with a brushed nickel cap.  You can never go wrong with a Hunter fan.
