Beautiful fixture that goes great with my mid-century modern room! It was very difficult to find something with a true mid-century modern look and color - so I was so happy to find this one! I've had several people give positive comments on it - including the electrician that installed it. I didn't watch him install it, but he didn't mention any issues during the install, so I'm guessing it was simple enough to install. I believe I read that the blades are a composite material, but you would never know that to see it. It looks and feels just like wood - however, I am guessing if they used a laminate wood in time it would peel - so I'm actually happy it is not wood. I was going to give it 4 stars because of the light - but it is so nice, I decided that wasn't enough to drop it a star. The light works from a remote control (as does the speed of the fan). It is dimmable; my electrician must have put in an LED bulb [NOTE: based on other reviews, the bulb is already installed in the unit; I did not know that since I did not watch him install it. hmmm...I wonder how you replace the bulb when it goes out??] I think it is too bright white. When it burns out, I will see about getting a soft-white dimmable bulb instead. On its highest setting it is overpowering and difficult to even look at - even though the globe is frosted - it is like an intense spot light. For general use, the lowest setting is fine - which is similar to a 40 watt incandescent. There is a few moments of lag from the time you turn on the light switch until the light actually turns on. The fan speeds are fine - but there is a bit of a hum at the fastest speed. I use this in my office so I don't notice it - if it was in the bedroom it may be a different matter. The slow and medium settings are totally silent. I was concerned it might be a bit large for my 12x14 room, but it looks fine - now that I'm used to it. :-)
