This fan is very cheaply made, and this was evident right out of the box. The plastic cover that goes over the blades was warped and would not stay on... it kept popping off. Once we finally got the cover in place and turned the fan on, the power button got jammed in the "on" position and would not come out. I promptly disassembled and repacked the fan and shipped it back for a refund. I ended up purchasing the Lakewood LSF1610BR-BM for roughly the same price and it turned out to be of a much better quality than this piece of junk.
