Canarm LTD St. James BPT 52 Alabaster Glass 4 Bulb Light Kit, 52-Inch Ceiling Fan with 5 Blades, White/Bleached Oak Blades Review

I wanted to wait until I installed this to review it so now that it's installed, I can say that I was pretty disappointed with the quality of this fan/light.First of all the blade colors given in the description are wrong, it's white and very dark oak, NOT bleached oak (which would have matched my floor:(
The item is made in China which should tell you something nowadays about how good it is, and the box it came in literally disintegrated (are they making boxes out of dust now?)upon opening it.Several pieces were damaged, one being the fan blade bracket whose very cheap finish was -peeling off- on one piece, and 2 of the blades though securely packaged and wrapped had tears on the dark oak side (thank God), so this side can never be used.AND, the blades seem to be made of cardboard, which explains how a color can be torn off (it's likely a decal of some sort)!Is wood that expensive? I don't know whether to blame the company or China for making this just another crappy imported product.
If this was a $40-45 fan, I could understand, but not for $123.
Amazon customer service was very nice but these are pretty hard to ship back when the box disintegrates and you've already installed the motor and light kit.
