FanimationArden Pedestal Indoor Fan - Oil-Rubbed Bronze

Bought this fan because I was tired of replacing cheaper fans on a regular basis (every year or two). The fan feels solid, was easy to setup, and looks great. One problem... after only a month a rattle started with the motor that steadily grew louder over time until it was keeping me up at night. Based on a general decline in customer service at most companies, I had low expectations and was expecting a hassle with the return to get it fixed. When I called the manufacturer and spoke with a technician, though, they surprised me by shipping a replacement motor the same day after just a few questions about the problem. I was very impressed with the attitude and helpfulness, and wouldn't hesitate to buy another product from this company based on this experience.

While these fans look good and feel heavy and solid, and are not inexpensive, the motor is not well made. I have had three and they seem to wear out after a year or so of frequent use. And frequent use is not uncommon in a fan.

The fan was listed as a used item for under $150. When it came, it appeared to be brand new, though in a box that had been opened. The parts were all in the original plastic.The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is not a very powerful fan. If you need a fan that moves a lot air, this isn't it. But if you want a good looking fan that you can leave out in your living room for those times when you want some air blown directly at you, then you will like this fan. For me, it was an excellent purchase.

Well, just assembled the legs for the tripod only to stand up the fan and see that it's not outfitted with a standard US plug as listed in the description. Gotta take it all apart now. This is a first for me. What aggravation.

Fan is extremely well built. It is much smaller than what you would expect. The fan itself is no larger than a table top fan. The height is about 4 feet. Perfect size to stick in front of an open window.It does NOT make much noise. So those of you looking for a sleeping fan, this may not be the best choice.

POS! Didn't work out of box Barely turns the Blades and makes a grinding noise too. Also the wooden legs are still wet with stain(Stained my hands when i took out of the box. Smelled like kerosene when I opened the box. Looks nice but really cheaply made for $400 price tag! Plastic cover etc...going to stay away from this brand!!

This fan is sturdy feeling and looks nice with the bronze fan and wooden legs tho the tripod base uses a lot of floor space. The motor is quiet and puts out plenty of air, but the fan is much shorter than it looks in the picture and the top doesn't tilt. I could deal with the height, but really, for that price I can't believe it doesn't tilt.

This is a nice looking quality fan. Virtually no fan noise. Oscillates beautifully. The one thing I would caution about is that this fan is quite small! It is a little over waist high. Great for a compact spot but much smaller than I expected. I paid 130.00 for it so I'm quite happy but if I'd paid 379.00 I'd be disappointed.
