Product looks good, cools nicely but the fan part has some slack in it and will not hold straight (The wire part is not straight) it tilts a little downward...

I had owned this model already, which was well made and the base (floor version) was a deep cherry/brown wood. I used mine every night for approximately 3 years and the motor finally gave out. I ordered this to replace it. The fan looks like the same style but is completely inferior in all respects. The base seems like a painted metal/wood composite and is scratched up. I had to used pliers to bend the connecting plug as it was warped and also remove a piece from the lower end of the cord which wouldn't thread through the base. The fan itself has a couple nicks. The controls and connections are completely different from the one I own. This one is obviously a cheap imitation of the original. Very disappointed but after having to bend/reform some pieces and putting it together I felt I couldn't return it. Bummer.Best Deals for Deco Breeze DBF0432 Sutter 16-Inch Floor-Standing Fan
When I pay over $200 for a decorative fan vs. the $50 imports readily available at Wal-Mart, I expect fine-furniture quality. This fan instead reminded me of something from a third-world country that you would find in Cost Plus for far, far less. This post of the fan and fan motor were scuffed and scratched. There were visible grinding marks on the base and it looked like it had been repainted. The wires on the cage were bent around the perimeter and I had to straighten them. And a part that secures the fan to the base was missing.We saw the fan in a local store and the quality appeared far superior, so I'm hoping this was either a sample defect or a badly refurbished return and not representative of the quality of all Deco Breeze products. If the latter is the case, Amazon should stop carrying them immediately.
