A fan ( 10 ) in disclosed which includes a fan motor ( 11 ), a motor housing ( 12 ), a plurality of fan blades ( 13 ). The fan also includes an elongated pole ( 16 ) and a pedestal ( 17 ). The pedestal includes a main housing ( 18 ) and a lower portion ( 19 ). The main housing has a shroud ( 21 ) and a hollow spindle ( 22 ). The shroud and spindle have a coextensive central channel ( 23 ) configured to receive the elongated pole. The lower portion has a plate-like skirt ( 26 ) and a centrally positioned mounting post ( 28 ). The mounting post includes a narrower top end ( 29 ) configured to be telescopically received within the bottom end of the pole. The diameter of the skirt is much greater than the diameter of the accompanying shroud to restrict tipping of the fan due to an external force place upon it.
