We bought this ceiling fan because we liked the design so much. Indeed it does look really cool in our bedroom. We were mildly annoyed that the downrod (ordered separately, from another company) took over a week to reach us, whereas we had the fan itself in two days. The worst problem we have is that the motor housing appears to be slightly off-center, so that when the fan runs, there is a visible wobble at the bottom of the can. In spite of this, the fan seems to run smoothly, with no wobble in the blades or the downrod, so we haven't decided to return the unit. Another annoyance is that, even on the high speed, the fan doesn't seem to move much air. This is consistent with the specifications, which do say that the volume of air is less that many other models.
