MINKA-AIRE F853-BN/DK Protruding Mount Ceiling Fan - 3 Distressed Koa Blades in Brushed Nickel/Distressed Koa Review

I didn't even unpack this horrible fan because they sent me a fully brushed nickel version even though the picture showed the brushed nickel base, lower shaft and wooden blades! When UPS delivered it and I picked up the big box, I knew we were in big trouble. It looks like there is nothing in the box! Then I find out that the fans in this entire AVIATION series are 100% plastic! Plastic fan blades but website claims they are damaged by KOA? This is just an intentional deception of a Chinese…

We bought the Minka-Aire fan on the recommendation of a friend. After reading the good and bad reviews we decided to buy it anyway and we are so glad we did! Shipping was exceptional, arrived on time and securely packaged. Easy to install and operate. The instructions are clear. Comes with blade guard gloves which are made of polymer resin and not cheap plastic. The blades look exactly like the description of the wooden blade design, but they are also light. Don't let that fool you, they're…

We purchased this great looking fan a few months ago and are very happy with its performance. We needed a bigger fan for our high living room. I'm also a bit interested in aviation, so it worked out well. The fan (Brushed Nickel/Coa) arrived very well packaged and easy to install. I unpacked everything and put it on the table and followed the good instructions. The basic installation was typical for a ceiling fan, all parts were well thought out and of high quality. Once the process of…

Delivery: The fan arrived on time and in good condition. The packaging was stable and the contents undamaged. Installation: The installation took about an hour without any prior knowledge. Only additional tools needed were a screwdriver and wire cutters/wire strippers. The instructions were relatively easy, but I do suggest having a helper as some of the steps would be very difficult without an extra pair of hands. It would be helpful if the manual turned summer and winter fans clockwise and…

Where to start? The fan is pretty good, but the installation instructions are still in their infancy. The fan blades look nice but are hollow inside. The listing states that the fan comes with 3.5" and 6" ground bars. Not correct. The required 3.5 inch rod was missing. Sign in to Revain Customer Service. The first person contacted was clearly overseas which wasn't a problem except it took us literally 15 minutes to verify our name on our account. "Yes, besides Deborah, which name is still on…

Our goal was a fan that was almost a 'work of art' as the large open space had few walls for actual art. We battled between this fan ($695) and Big Ass Fans' Haiku ($895+) and chose this one for its amazing power efficiency and lower price. This fan is just gorgeous and really has that vintage airplane propeller that we wanted. The blades are made of faux plastic, but the finish looks quite authentic, as does the shape of the blades. The finish we chose (nickel with koa blades) was ordered…
