Overall great design and great materials! However, the one I received was a factory defect. The base was bent/pushed into one side, so the whole fan was leaning to its left. Since the balance was off the fan was louder than it should be. I own other metal fans, and know these can be loud, but not horribly loud. Thank you Wayfair for a smooth return process. I've had bad luck with products in the past, but Wayfair always pushes through with positive results!
