This fireplace really heats up our master bedroom FAST, but discovered only after it arrived that it was rated for a 1000 sq ft space and our bedroom is only about 1/3 that.  It's attractive but two things bother me every time I see it:  it's very short (as in vertically) and I wish it had a better finish which is quite rough.  I'm thinking of asking the local cabinet maker to build a 4-5 in black platform to raise it up a bit but am not sure how that would look.  At least with that platform I could better see the flames when sitting in bed.
