Review on KICHLER 300030OBB Oil-rubbed Bronze Ceiling Fan with 3 Walnut Blades and 67 Watts Light by Donia Carey

first of all it looks great. Matches well with our vaulted ceilings with light decking and darker toned beams. A design that works in everything from mid-century modern to edgy modern. The blades are plastic, but difficult to see from a distance. Installation is a pain. The holes for the flat head screws are too narrow - if I had the right size I would put a tap through them. It takes too much strength to tighten these screws. I assembled it on the floor - would shudder at the thought of installing/removing the blades when mounted to the bottom bar. The installation instructions are general and do not address specific issues with this fan. If you are not using a light, you must first remove the LED circuit and lens to attach the protective plate. The instructions also mention using a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. This switch does not exist. After all, relying on a Kichler remote to control the fan is just plain silly. Not everyone needs an ugly remote control on the wall or, like me, has already installed a smart fan controller. It works with my Lutron Caseta controller at least for what I need (low and high speed, on/off). fan rotation. This is acceptable for my setup, but for many it will be a deal breaker. A little wobble when initially installing on a 36" stem but I was able to correct that with the kit provided.
