I have this fan and I like it alot. It is quiet, puts out quite a bit of air, and is very atractive. It does not put out much light however, more like a glow because the art glass does not allow light to shine through. Also because the glass is gold, the light is very yellow which I don't find very pleasing, especially when it is set at it's brightest. It's OK when set dim. All-in-all, I am happy with it since I have other lighting options in the room.

My husband and I bought this fan for our mission style bedroom. It was heavy and just like other quality ceiling fans, labor intensive to hang ourselves (make sure you have someone to help you hang it). It has been a beautiful addition to our master suite. While giving tours of our home, people often give compliments about how beautiful it is. The best part about this fan, is the soft amber light that it shines at night. Perfect for lighting that hangs above a bed. We enjoy the multiple fan settings and quiet motor. The hardware is dark chocolate brown (almost black)and the blades can be installed in two different wood stained tones.

I bought this from another company for $200 and change. But money is not the object. Function and design are. I purchased this for a bedroom. I was fooled by the look and regret my purchase. The light is completely inadequate. It takes two sixty watt, candelabra based bulbs, which, through heavy yellow plastic allows very little light. The two other problems I have with this fan are the bulbs are VERY difficult to change out (the light cover, 'down fixture' is not completely removable once installed, so one must hold it whilst changing bulbs, and it is heavy, and in the process it will interfere with functions controlled by the chains and a small down rod (controlling direction) because these get jostled while holding the fixture. There is no way around this. The chains and the down rod by design hold the light cover hostage. Moreover, the installation itself is brutal, even for a pro (about $200 to have this done and took my licensed electrician almost two hours.) And, to add insult to injury, the motor is noisy. It awakens me form my sleep. Getting the final tight enough to contain the rattles of the faux glass, helps but is not fool proof, the objectionable motor sound is beyond my skill level to comment on. Conclusion: Another made in China rip off. Not recommended. Oh. And if you happen to live in a dusty area as I do, the design is a nightmare to keep clean because of the way the 'glass' (plastic) light cover is incorporated into the fan design and cannot, CANNOT separate or be accessible. The designer should be have his job out sourced.

Fan looks great, but the light output is terrible. Only buy if you are looking for ambience. If your looking for light for reading or if this is the only light in the room, you'll be disappointed. It's a shame because there are so few mission style fans on the market to choose from. I'm actually taking the glass globe to a local stain glass shop to have them change out the manufacturer's glass.

My dad had some problems aligning the base/light properly due tot he way it was made, but this is a beautiful light and looks great with the similar Tiffany ceiling lights I bought. I bought the remote control that was supposed to work with this fan (Hunter brand and everything) and it is too big to use mounted inside the base -- that part was a waste of money, so beware. Otherwise, great light/fan, great price.

The fan is beautiful, works great. We installed the 27114 remote with it and it also works great. The light is a nonissue, we didn't need it for the light. Sometimes we do turn the light on (also with the remote) just for atmosphere. Three speeds are just great.

Wanted a fan for vacation home. The fan looks and works great. It is not used as a primary light source so the light it gives off is just fine for me- if it will be your main light source then you might be a little disappointed. The fan is quiet enough and moves air well. I had the fan installed by an electrician so can't speak to how easy or difficult it was to do it.

I bought based on look and not function. The fan looks great. The mission style stain glass, blades...I bought for my kitchen and the light brightness is terrible. The glass is also hot to the touch. I just paid $240 and I want to swap it out. If you want this for a room you are not looking for a bright light I recommend it. If you want beauty and bright lights, look for something else.

Just finished installing the fan and CRACK! The candelabra bulbs got so hot they cracked globe. A beautiful fan that I hesitate returning but must.

I bought this fan with some apprehension after reading some of the negative reviews but I'm so glad I did. It is the best looking mission style fan I've ever seen and is whisper quiet. The light output is indeed very low but to me that's not an issue because I have other lighting in the room. It was no more difficult to install than any other fan. I did not need a helper and had no problems installing it myself. I installed the remote control unit and I love it - no ugly pull chains hanging down from the fan not to mention the convenience of a remote control. I could not be happier with it!
