This is a beautiful product, the base assembles fairly easy and it is sturdy. I love this fan, I only wish it was made here. After I assembled it and turned it on it made a noise, I checked and noticed that the cap that holds the blades was loose so I had to remove the grill and tighten it. The grill is not easy to remove, I wish they will find an easier way to fasten it to the frame. Overall, I love this fan and recommend it very strongly.
