I want medium colored oak blades - just how dark are the "stained oak blades"?

Quite dark but nice. The top part does not actually connect snugly to the ceiling, bit of a gap between the ceiling and the top part.

I agree with the others that have answered this question so far. the color is true to the picture and looks as if it has some "cherry" coloring to it. We bought this fan to replace an oak fan and these blades are darker and redder than our old fan.

The color is damn close to what you see as advertised I would lean towards dark not medium dark

The photo of the fan and blades is accurate. I'm not familiar with what a medium oak color would be, though I will say that the blades on these fans are fairly dark and remind me of darkly stained cherry wood, if that helps.

I would call it light walnut or maple. It is a mid tone. Not really dark but not too light.

they are definitely NOT made out of oak. I know this because I stripped them--the wood has no grain. The color is a cross between cherry and cedar (a reddish/oak color)

I agree with Sam. Darker wood but well patterned, I use frequently and have had them nearly a year and they are still perfect. I have 3 sizes of these, I absolutely love them.

I suppose it's a matter of taste, whether they'll look good. To me, honey oak is a medium-to-lightish golden wood color with visible grain and darker swirls in it. These tables are darker than that: the side wood is medium oak color and has a grain, but the top surface is darker and will not match. Personally, I try for similar but not exactly matching wood colors around a room, as long as styles are compatible. If color is what you need to look good, these may be too dark for a honey oak.

We bought ours in white, so I am not sure of the color for the oak style. I wish I could be more help.

Much closer to dark cherry or light mahogany in color. Nowhere near oak. Beautiful, though.

It's dark oak, but they package the chairs horribly. I returned two sets twice because of scuff marks.

Hello: dark cherry finish - I stained mine even darker to match cabinets and they looks awesome!

They are. Maybe a tad darker. Although this has nothing to do with the color, I have noticed that the design on the handles has started to peel and also, one of the blades has come loose.

As far as I can tell there is no metal in the blades. It appears that way in the photos because of the way the light is shining on them. I took mine out and looked at them and the blades are entirely the black ceramic color. Hope this helps : )

no they arent that dark at all. actually they are a beautiful bronze. worked perfectly in my kitchen against light colored cabinets.i bought new handles as well that match that color and it looks great. hope that helped you. if not please ask any other questions and i will try to reply.

I used them on golden oak cabinets in my kitchen, they're pretty light, not that medium/dark oak -- and the change of the knobs has made the cabinets look AWESOME! I still can't believe what a great value these are! I'd do it again in a minute! They are very substantial - not tinny and cheap. I believe they could be used on any color cabinets from stark white to maybe a darker cherry. The contrast is striking and I also believe that they won't be a trendy thing -- they'll look as good 10 years from now as they do now! I'm thrilled with these -- don't even hesitate!

If you are using oak it will take multiple layers to get the color dark. If you are using a wood like poplar or pine, I'd start with the darker color then slowly add water to lighten the color with each new layer. It's going to be a challange

My blades are dark sort of walnut looking. It may come in the other option, but the boldy would also be silver/pewter. Air flow is good, fan is quiet, only commlaoin is that light is no quite bright enough.

When I think oak I think more in the brown/tan family. The one I received I would classify as a light cherry. More red in the finish than brown.

I am not sure. Mine did come with blades. I purchased white and it came with white blades. If you get another color, they might be referencing different wood colors such as oak or walnut. They could be saying if you do not like what is included, you can buy other options. I am not sure.
