Are the blades plastic? Wood? Or what?

I'm honestly not 100% sure, but I believe they are a very light-weight wood. The material seems the same as all of our other fans-all Hunter-which are wood.

I would say on my WHITE fan, that the blades are a man made product, about 1/4" thickness. The lack of "grain" should make them easier to clean, IMHO. And these fans are absolutely silent -- we love them.

No, it is a hard plastic. Or something. The blade is very sharp and forged metal. Very nice. Not a toy. Handle with caution.

No - they are plastic or nylon, but definitely NOT wood. I was really disappointed when I bought mine in July, because I thought the bristles were wood or bamboo from reading the other reviews. However, when the brush came, I discovered that they are plastic or nylon. The description doesn't say they're wood, but they don't say the brush has changed since the other reviews, either. It's also a very lightweight brush, with somewhat cheesy-looking screws holding it together. If you want a great wooden brush with actual wooden bristles (which actually do feel really great when you brush your hair), get the OTHER brush I ordered in July: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KM3NDO/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk No - they are plastic or nylon, but definitely NOT wood.

No, they are plastic.. but hearty. I use my fan on my back porch... it moves a lot of air and keeps me happy. The plastic blades don't seem to mind the weather. Unless you need something really heavy duty, I recommend this fan highly....

They are made of a rigid plastic and are flexible. I have used them multiple times with no problems. They are very sharp.

Plastic ... and they worked pretty good ... I bought them to cut my buddies Dog . I 'm thinking I may need to get Sheep Sheers ...LOL

It's made of plastic with metal cutting blades... Be careful though as there is some false advertising so make sure it actually does you want. Read my review for details.

Plastic - they are not rubber - I have "faux-wood" floors in my rental. Good luck

Hard plastic case, metal blades- I've had mine over 2 years, never an issue. Bought two as gifts. It is very inexpensive for what you get. Will it stand up to a metal one, probably not, but you're not paying for it either.

Blades are metal.. This fan is awesome, I haven't had a need to turn it past low... Medium and high put out a HUGE amount of air displacement.. Great buy all around.

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 : )

Plastic. They snap together instead of requiring a tool, like the metal ones do. These are adequate for lightweight fabrics and light-duty use.

Plastic but there is a metal mulching blade at the center of the fan. You just have to hope all material of heavy consistency hits this first, not going to happen.

They are a hard plastic. Been using for a few months and seem to be pretty decent quality. The blender still rocks!

It is made of plastic, but don't let that fool you. It is very durable and does not feel light weight with the blade.

The blades are plastic, but definitely not glossy, or at least not any glossier than wood appears. From below (which is how I view my ceiling fan), they look like wood. I'm very happy with this fan. It's close to the ceiling, quiet, and moves the air very efficiently.

Yes the blades are metal but are held on by thick plastic. The handle is plastic so I would not use it for commercial use but with care it should last a longtime with care. It has server my family well the kids love to make snowcones.
