This is a good high quality fan and I would definitely recommend it. It does require some assembly, which I was not expecting but it went together easily. The lowest setting is silent but doesn’t give off a ton of air, just enough to keep things circulating. The higher the setting, the louder it gets. It is still rather quiet, just not silent. The best feature is the remote!  Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?  It is super convenient to change the setting without getting up. Love it!  Overall it seems well made, looks nice and is efficient. A great buy!
