PEOPLE: DO NOT BUY THIS FAN. Crapton Bay is JUNK. Go buy a hunter, litex, monte carlo, emerson, or casablanca, or any good brands.

@jonahmusto Disagree. Mine's been functioning fine. For the price paid (about $65), I feel it's worth it.

I just purchased this exact Fan at Home Depot in July. And this Hampton Day Glendale is very Affordable with an Expensive look

@CRobertGray I agree! I originally was looking at some fancy stainless steel looking ones from Modern Fan and other place but they use small candlabra light sockets. Not enough light output to use over a dining table.

I did find some really nice ones that use a single halogen light at Room and Board which should be enough light, but those fans were like $500.+.

The fact that this one seems to match my table and shelf and the price was under $100., really made it a no brainer for me.

PS, these bulbs work in many lamps and light fixtures and they look cool. Check 'em out!

The spherical bulbs and silver grating of the motor do make it look pretty steam-punk, though it seems out of place against the whiteness of the ceilings and walls.

Personally, I prefer a more homey, cozy aesthetic for homemaking with less whiteness. There's just something about being surrounded by yellowish, subdued light in a smallish room. The more wood color, the better. Maybe it's because I associate white walls with work. That's just me, though.

@BirdValiant I agree, my walls and ceiling are too white. I'm painting the place soon. Many of the walls and ceiling will still be white but a better white, not as bright.

@mazda9624 I have seen a lot of bad report and I saw a broken one at the Home Depot Nursery.
