   The color is black with a slight brushed effect that gives it a aged finish. The blades are solid black. I was expecting aged bronze like my other light fixtures but this is not even close. So while its a nice light and the fan is very quiet, the color is black.

   I had this same fan/lamp I purchased from Frontline about eight years ago ,,,,the motor slowly wore outand barely moved the air. so this is an exact replacement other than the new bulbs and sockets are LED.Everything went up nicely till I came to the Light Kit …the wires kept getting in the way of fastening it to the Fan ..almost like 6 pounds of wire in a 5 pound box. After wading them up and zip tying them I got the light attached.I would recommend putting the Bracket on the ceiling . attach the down tube to the Fan and put the blades on while inverted . then after Assembled hooking it into the Bracket which has one side Open to do this . With 5 blades and three screws each you will never get them on while it is hanging from the ceiling . [REMEBER if you do it this way the TOP of the Blades is now The BOTTOM ] Hang the Light Kit on after you get the Fan installed and insuring the Remote works the Fan.I had the advantage of taking down the old one and replacing with a new so it went fairly easily …I did almost lose my religion over getting the wires for the light into the enclosure. Also the Fan is wired for a 4 foot down tube so if you use the one supplied you should cut off the excess, allowing about 6″ coming out of the tube to attach the Remote Receiver which is wired into your electrical wires .

   I have a love/hate relationship with these fans (I bought 3).PROS: These fans are unique and have a combined feel of a light fixture and a fan. I find them attractive and get many compliments on them. The color, as mentioned by others, is quite dark. I would describe them as a blackish-brown. Not really much of a bronze finish. I like the color. The lighting fixture, as mentioned by others, is unusual. It does have a somewhat disco-ball effect on the ceiling. It is ok for me since I seldom use the lights but if you are depending on the fixture for lighting, you might be disappointed. The fans generate a great deal of air flow. The high setting moves more air than any other fan I have ever used. I like a lot of air flow so this is a good thing as far as I am concerned.CONS: One of the globes has a substantial crack — not broken but certainly cracked. It took me some time from delivery to installation and I could not seem to contact the manufacturer for a replacement in time. Plus, the globes are a part of the fixture and I chose to install the fan with the cracked globe because delaying installation was going to be more trouble than it was worth. The lighting globes would be nicer in some other texture than the one the manufacturer included. Plain glass would have been a better choice in my opinion. As for the fan speed, my electrician could not balance the fans on the high speed enough to keep them from wobbling. Most of the time I run them on medium, which is more than enough, because the wobbling is too much. Finally, the thing that has caused me the most difficulty are the remote controls. Two fans are in the bedroom and one fan is in the family room. The electrician was not able to set three different frequencies on the fans and remote controls so I have trouble turning the fans and lights on and off individually. Obviously, if you only have one fan you won’t have a problem, but with three, I have to work to get the fans and lights on/off and at the right speed. Oh, how I have wished for a pull chain. One other problem — the lights occasionally come on for no apparent reason. It may happen during the day and I don’t notice it but the times this has happened that I noticed was during the night while I am sleeping. Surprise!!!You can see why I love/hate these fans!!!

   The fan is controlled ONLY by a remote controller. I installed two fans in one large room, and I expected to operate them both from one controller. This is either NOT an option, or instructions on how to make that work are not provided. For some reason, one of the fans requires that you stand immediately under it, pointing the remote within about three feet of the device in order to control it. The other unit has a reasonable range, and can be controlled from say ten feet away (I have no idea the maximum distance). Perhaps the two fans are just too far apart to receive the signal so that both will work from one controller.The product description says that the lighting has a full range dimmer. I have not had any success dimming either unit. I can hold the light button as long as I like, the lights flash, and absolutely no dimming. Clicking that button gives me just on and off. The dimming feature WAS one of the primary reasons that I chose these fixtures.My fans were installed by a crew of three very capable finish carpenters on the last day of a construction project. I gave them the advice from other product ratings about the remote set-up. It took them several hours to install these (not a reasonable puzzle for a homeowner). There are no instructions for how to make the ONLY controller (the remote) work. The receiver for the remote is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, and fits (barely) under the ceiling cap. Using a shallow lighting box as we did, there is no space for the wires. Normally I would contact the manufacturer and ask how to make the light dimming work, but I already know that I would not be able to get the controller back into the fixture if I remove it to make some change. I will at some point just buy very low wattage light bulbs for the dim light that I wanted.The finish should be called “black”. There is nothing “bronze” about it. So… the product description is awful, but still, I dislike the look of ceiling fans and these are absolutely gorgeous. They move a large amount of air. They are quiet. Every person who has seen the room (I can count at least 14 people) compliments the light fixtures, and most folks are calling them “chandeliers” rather than calling them ceiling fans. That is exactly the effect that I wanted.
