. Fan 1 - Generally, very good. The upper guard appears a little clumsy down near to the rivet, perhaps not a repair but not well spliced. The cream gauze is very slightly dusty, the spangles appear to be all present. One corner of the box lid has been damaged but the box is still fit for purpose. Fan 2 - The gauze is splitting along several folds, two quitter badly, literally holding on my threads.
