I missed the return period on this piece but would have returned it due to poor build quality and some minor pre-existing damage. The wooden pieces are not cut at the correct angles and the brackets do not pull the pieces together in a seamless manner - all of which make the fireplace look cheap. The dowels were a size too small and worthless to help hold the piece together. The fire box itself puts off good heat and is moderately appealing, although obviously fake. Poor value for the price given the quality.
