I love this electric fireplace. I initially wanted another one. It was off white, larger, a bit classier, and over 1000. I found this one an decided it fit my budget (at under 500 with a sale that was on) and thought it will do until I can afford the other one that Id had my heart set on. 
Well...it came (quite quickly) and I am in love with it. It was easy to assemble if you follow the instructions, it is the perfect size for my living room, and looks incredible! . I am pleased to say this is the fireplace Im sticking with. I like it way better than the previous one Id wanted. The fire , although fake is not as fake looking as Id thought it would be as well.  I highly recommend this unit to anyone. I have heard some some people say there unit came damaged. Mine came with wood around the parts...it was slightly damaged due to delivery, but the unit itself was in perfect condition!
