Great looking fan and quiet. It's only the air circulating at the highest level that may sound loud, but honestly we don't need it on a high level since at the low levels the air circulates great. The wood is slim but looks great. Gave it a 4 star because it doesn't keep its memory when we turn it off, where my previous old fan did keep its memory. For future buyers, you can find the same fan cheaper on a very popular site even with the value of our $. So far, overall great product.
