This product is made with cardboard pressed wood. I put a wood dowel in the hole provided, pushed it to hard and it went completely through the board. The item is much smaller than expected, The 200 plus reviews given were mostly five stars.. ?? why?? 

Went to Lowes yesterday and found a beautiful fireplace inside a cabinet that was made with wood for only 100.00 more and you don't have to put it together.

This product reminds me of a doll house fireplace, it is very narrow. The fireplace looks cheap, the "brick" inside is paper look alike, doesn't look real. The holes for the hardware; Some were too big, so the hardware did not work as it should have. 

This item should be listed for $249.00. I think the mechanism to heat may be worth that.

Pros: Not drable finish, cheap paper pressed board
Cons: Too small, too expensive
