It was a little wider than I expected, but still loved it. It has a modern glass base that was a pleasant surprise. But, what I liked best was how quiet it was. Really, for a fan made up of three fans, it was really quiet....though, I only needed to use it on low while in bed.  And finally, there is a remote control...it was probably in the description, but, in all honesty I bought based on looks mostly, so the rest was just bonus.
