The instructions were straightforward and in 10 minutes I had the pedestal of the fan screwed into the base and the fan head assembled. I found that I stayed the coolest when I had the fan pointed at me as directly as possible. I tried using it at different heights and preferred to keep it at a shorter height so it could fan directly on me as I was laying down. When it was up higher, I could still feel the airflow but didn’t feel like I was staying as cool. If you can’t buy a fan fully put together, this is the next best thing. The pieces are lightweight besides the motor that’s in the fan head but even that piece is manageable.
