Craftmade B554T-OLOK 23.03in. Tropic Isle Set Fan Blade



Made the fan look Great
These blades gave the fan new life my ceiling fan, my fan worked great but the fan blades where comming apart so I bought these as a replacement. The blades are good looking and seem very sturdy, they are also much larger and heaver then the ones that where on the fan but still work OK, one thing I discovered is that all ceiling fans don't have the same hole pattern in the arm that attaches to the fan blade, one ceiling fan I had was OK but the other one the holes where wrong. They should post a diagram of the hole pattern so you can match it to your fan arm our you will have to re-drill the holes for them to fit yourself.

Plastic and only "textured' on one side.
They looked good in the pictures online, but in person/ up close they look cheap. We purchased the brown ones and I thought they were wood since there was nothing in the description saying they were plastic (they appeared to have wood grain in the pics). You can purchase much nicer Tommy Bahama blades made of natural materials (wood, bamboo, reed, etc) and designed for outdoor use for close the the same price. These craftmade fan blades are way overprices at $60 per set. Also, these blades only have the design on one side, the other side is just brown plastic. Our fans are on low ceilings so it is very obvious that the blades are plastic. They might look okay for ceilings that are at least 20 feet up. I would not buy again.

Thanks for reading, I hope this review was helpful!

Ceiling fan in low-ceilinged room
They are just the right size for my 12x24sun porch. The blades do not interfere with people walking under them.
