IMPORTANT – i’m sure you saw from photos, but the cord is completely detached, and has fraying in several spots on the cord, the last time i plugged it in (over a year ago) it started up, blades started slowly turning, and within a few seconds, there was a flash and a spark, and the cord came undone from the base of the fan, so i’ve had it ever since just as a shelf sitter.. Approx 16-17 inches tall, diameter of base is about 7.5 inches.. Plz review pics carefully before deciding on purchasing! Maybe a bit more.
