If This Fan's A-Rockin'...
Over on the home improvement blog Charles and Hudson, they’ve got up a little video primer on how to stabilize a wobbly ceiling fan. Which reminds us: We still need to get some ceiling fans. What do people recommend? Fixing a Wobbly Ceiling Fan [Charles and Hudson]

Fixing a Wobbly Ceiling Fan [Charles and Hudson]
Uh, that should’ve read “and/or being able to run the fan with the light on a dimmer. Sorry.
I had two Hunter fans at my last place. Liked one, but other had a rattling/humming problem that I never solved. Now I have an Emerson, which is so quiet it’s unbelievable.
Are you getting a fan with or without light? Cause if you have fan with light, you might have some issues with running the fan at variable speeds and/or being about to run the fan with the light on a dimmer. (If that makes any sense.)
Anyway, just go online and search for ceiling fans. You’ll get a ton of sites. I bought my Emerson from fanshack.com.
I would not recommend cieling fans, I don’t like how they look…. you got A/C right?
Hunter fans are excellent. I got one for my master bedroom (10 ft ceiling height), and it works like a dream. Rosewood fan blades, brushed brass finish, amber optic glass shades. I’m very happy with it and would buy Hunter again. I purchased it about 7 years ago at one of those lighting stores on the Bowery.
If you want an architectural look, check out http://www.modernfan.com. They sell them at a number of the online lighting stores (e.g., ylighting.com, etc.). These fans cost around $300, and when chosen properly, work with any decor. Frankly, I find them infinitely more appealing than the country-bumpkin and caribbean-bungalow silliness that home depot sells.
Go to Costco.com. Even if you’re not a member, good prices and designs. Stay clear of Home Depot.
We got Hunter fans from Home Depot (“Strathmore” line, I believe); under $100 (last year). Effective and quiet – we’re very happy with them.
hampton bay is a cheap brand sold at home depot not very attractive looking, casablanca rules
We own three Casablanca fans, cost a little more, but very happy with them.
