I've owned this fan for about 2 years, and I've always loved it's "Tim Burtonesque" look. But it's SO much more-it moves air throughout my living room better than any floor fan I've owned. Yes-it's a table top fan, but it circulates the air SO well, is quiet, and STUNNING in a living room. If used on a desk-it's specifically designed NOT to blow papers and such around the room. And we've tried-with stacks of loose papers. It's not designed to totally cool a room-but to keep a cool breeze moving. I absolutely love it-Fanimation has some of the most beautiful and functional fan designs around. They're not inexpensive, but they are WELL worth the money.
