We tried them and they always end up getting knocked over! Jodi even found some little plastic feet that attached to the base but alas no luck. The pedestal fan works great and comes from the shop. It has drywall mud and paint all over it. Once house gets sorted out it will once again be regulated to the shop and persona non grata in the house. But it works great for this Summer. Next Summer she will be adapted. Dragging her from fifty degrees days to 100 was a bit of a shock. She molted!
