Here’s my Top 5 for free downloadable WordPress themes.
1. Arras Theme
Currently definitely my number 1, as you can see. Arras Theme looks and feels incredibly good and might even be classified as a Premium Theme if you ask me.
There are lots of options to run through right in the administration dashboard.

2. WP CODA
This is one of the most beautiful themes you can use for showing of a product or service. WP CODA uses a nice and smooth jQuery navigation system for some extra awesomeness.
