We have $\operatorname{diam} \bigcap_{n\in\Bbb{N}} F_n \le \operatorname{diam} F_m\to 1$ as $m\to\infty$
But is it possible that $\operatorname{diam} \bigcap_{n\in\Bbb{N}} F_n=0$

Consider $F_n=\prod_{1\leq i\leq n}\{0\}\times \prod_{j\geq n+1}[0,1]$ in $\ell^\infty$.

I see. Thanks. In this example,
For every $n$, $\operatorname{diam}F_n=1$.
$$\bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty}F_n=\left\{\prod_{i\ge1}\{0\}\right\}$$
