The mantle and shelves are pretty. I had a little bit of a hard time putting shelves together, but it worked out in the end. 
The main reason I'm not giving it five stars is because we ordered the model that said it heats up to 1500sqft, but when it arrived, it was the 400 sqft insert. We called the Wayfair, and though it said so online, they didn't actually carry any inserts with that amount of heat space. Wayfair refunded some of our money, but I'm still disappointed because there was a fireplace we absolutely loved at another shop, but we didn't purchase it because it only heated up to 400 sqft. So now we have a nice fireplace with smaller heat space and not the gorgeous one with the same heating area.
