The fireplace insert is very nice and works well. The material used to make the fireplace seems to be easily damaged as my fireplace arrived with a crack in the face of the fireplace. It also arrived with a small but deep scratch on the mantle. I assume the damage occurred during shipping. It would look really nice if it was not damaged. 
It was not easy to assemble.
I like it well enough to not return it in part because of the black Friday special pricing. In part because i thought returning it would be a hassle due to the size and weight. I am going to try to patch the crack and add wood dye to the scratch to fix the appearance.
