When we built our house in 2012 we wanted a stone fireplace but could not afford one at the time. Years later we looked into a fireplace installation and found out the weight of the project would be just as big of problem as the cost. More support would have to be installed in the basement and make more expense. I had gave up on the project but my wife was going to find a way. One night she ran across your product on the internet. After studying the product myself and later looking at actual samples we not only eliminated the weight problem but the cost also. I am not a carpenter but installed the whole thing using a hand saw and a cordless drill. We couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you Gen Stone!
