I bought both colors!

My daughter picked the silver fan out for her room and it's beautiful! It's doesn't put off a ton of light, but she doesn't care at all. She loves having the remote to put next to her bed and that it makes some very cool shadows on her walls and ceiling. It's a little bit of a pain to put together, but not to bad. Really quiet and has  great air movement. 

The gold version is for a spare bedroom and it has a little bit more of a vintage look to it and is beautiful. We really loved both of the fans!
