Stunningly beautiful fan! Hits all the stars on appearance whether on or off. 
in fairness to all of those thinking about purchase, have to state it took over 3 hours to put together due to instructions and intricacy of the lamp.
We got the remote due to high ceilings and can live with that but would have preferred connecting to an electrical outlet, which was not an option.
Despite these drawbacks, once it is hung, everyone is in awe!
