This is a very good fan. It looks sleak and not cheap out of the box, easy to attach the base, operates quietly, has user friendly controls, and blows enough air to help cool a bonus room over my garage in Georgia. Keep in mind I have plush berber carpet, and have noticed a very slight rocking motion while it is oscillating. If the base were a little larger, this would not occur on thick carpet. Not a big issue, but keep this in mind.
