Title: Warning: blade frames WILL rust, wicker disintegrates
Review: Nice looking fan. Installed it in a guest bedroom in a waterfront residence in the US Virgin Islands. Figured it was just the ticket. Wrong! Four years later the metal frames of the fan blades have rusted and the wicker is disintegrating such that the fan has literally sprayed our white walls with rust particles now requiring new paint to cover.This fan was rarely used and remained in a room that was generally closed to the sea air. Don't even think of placing it in an area with "Caribbean breezes". Replacing the original blades is no option since they cost a much as new fan. I've subbed classic wood blades for the originals.I note that Hunter now has a similar model with plastic blades simulating the wicker effect. No big surprise there.
