I absolutely love this fan. First of all, the color is great. I know it's just a fan, but the black just makes it look sleek and kind of cool.

 Assembly was pretty easy. The support pole was already pieced together and putting it in the base was no problem at all,  I had some trouble in the last step with snapping the grill together, but Lasko gives you picture and written instructions, as well a link to an instructional video.  Super helpful.  

The fan is no quieter or louder than any other.  The blades rotate evenly and I find the round base makes it sturdier than the usual cross-style bases.
