A nice thin fireplace which I mounted on the wall although you can have it recessed as well. There are very many colours to choose from for the stones and the flames. Fun feature is that you can dim it or brighten it five levels. There is a sleep timer for 1 to 8 hours and the heater is pretty strong but you hear it if room is quiet. I had an issue with the centre of the 60 inch fireplace not having enough flames and they replaced it promptly.
