I love this fireplace! It's beautiful and a good deal. The flame box is so cool! The logs really look like they are burning embers, you can adjust the brightness, the temperature, turn an ambient light on/off or have the light/flames be variable like a real fire. Assembly was pretty easy, although one of my pieces was labeled with the wrong number (not a huge deal). My daughter and I put this together in an hour. One note, PAY ATTENTION TO THE SEAMS when you are tightening bolts! Things can line up pretty wonky if you don't. Mine came with a slight chip and the front center board appears to be a different white than the rest, but I have paint that's a good match. It still looks stunning despite the minor defects. Also, in case you are wondering, the back is pretty much hollow which makes it easy to hide the cord and outlet.
