The fan was perfect for what we needed. We switched to a loft bed and need a fan with contained blades that still provided the same level of cooling. It is a bit noisy a level 6 (top level) but that is to be expected. It is a bit dark with the bulbs provided so if you are looking for bright lighting you may need to get different bulbs. Loved that an extra bulb was provided and had a glove to wear to ensure you didn't touch the bulbs directly.
