I just received the fan today and I've been running it all afternoon in my study. It's a nostalgic design and solid construction. The sound though is what really stands out. I can't tell you what exactly it is but plastic fans don't sound like this. I haven't heard this tone in a fan blade since I was young. Wonderful to go to sleep to. If you're on the fence on trying this, let this be the push let this be the final push you need.
