The only reason I would hesitate to recommend this fan is that the wattage limit on the lights is so low that, with the opaque decorative shell covering the bulbs, very little light reaches the room. While we bought the fan for its looks, and therefore like the bulb covering, I wish there were a way to put brighter bulbs in or otherwise provide more adequate light.

First time I tried the speed switch; the chain pulled out, but refused to retract; stuck. Plastic ratchet in switch seems to have jammed, wont retract for another pull.

I am very pleased with my choice of the 1912 Mission Fan. It is exactly what I wanted for the sunroom, which is furnished in the Mission style. The fan accents the room nicely but doesn't command the room. The fan light gives off a warm golden glow, which also compliments the upholstery. The price was less here than other sites and the box arrived in perfect condition with all parts and contents intact.

As another reviewer said, if you're looking to light up the room with this fan, you'll be disappointed. The light is almost entirely decorative. Plus, the color of the light given off is very yellowish - almost like those yellow-orange "bugs can't see 'em" lights you put in outdoor light fixtures.

My biggest complaint about this fan, though, comes from the blades. While they are attractive and real wood, no matter how much I tighten the screws connecting the blades to the fan, the blades rattle, making an irritating clucka-clucka-clucka noise at medium or high speed. I've even put LockTite in the screw threads and tightened the screws down as tight as they'll possibly go, but within a week or so the blades are back to rattling again. The *motor* itself is very quiet. If only the blades were.

I'm so tired of hearing the noise while watching TV, I'm now in the market for a replacement fan.

Note: We've had this fan for over five years, so maybe Hunter has changed how the blades attach to the fan. I doubt it, but maybe.
