I've bought and owned many Craftmade fans over the years. The fans are very reliable, and I've owned some for over 10 years without any issues. The only complaint I have is Craftmade used to make a huge variety fans and fan glass shades in several styles, and most were unique and beautiful, Some fans had a varying degree of designs and patterns embossed on them. I'm really tired of seeing the plain Jane fans that are made today that will never hold a candle to more beautiful ones made long ago,
