Well, I went to Home Depot and got a 24" Hampton Bay Metarie for my closet, to replace my Harbor Breeze Breezeway. I put the Metarie up last night, but it was a pain to install, but I still got it up.
My Metarie is Brushed Nickel with reversible Maple to Walnut blades (I have the Walnut side down), but it also comes in White with reversible White to Bleached Oak blades, as well as in Oil-Rubbed Bronze with reversible Walnut to Oak blades. The Brushed Nickel and Oil-Rubbed Bronze ones are $54.96, while the White one is $49.96.
It comes with a 4" down rod, and there's no (easy) way to flushmount the fan. It comes with a single opal glass dome light kit with a single 13W CFL that comes with the fan, but you can remove the switch cap from the light kit fitter assembly, and use the cap plug that comes with the fan if you don't want a light kit.
The motor is pretty decent-sized, and fills up (almost) the whole motor housing. As mentioned before, the fan was pretty hard to mount, yet pretty easy to assemble once I got it mounted. It doesn't wobble, and is virtually silent. It is also an awesome air mover.
In short, I'd recommend the Metarie to anyone who has a smaller bedroom, wants a fan in their closet or bathroom, or even wants a fan in a gazebo or screened-in porch.
Pics to follow. (:
