This is a beautiful fan. I bought this fan because I had a gold leaf lamp that I was looking to match it with. The gold leaf described is not actually gold leaf but it still worked out because the supposed gold leaf ended up matching a piece of art that I had in the room. It took 4 people and several hours to put together but that is to be expected with a high quality fan. I have looked at this exact fan on multiple other sites and this is the best price that I could find it at. It is a good buy and it looks amazing in my room!
