I love my fireplace except for a few flaws.. I took my time putting it together to be sure I did it correctly. One flaw is that the anchors don't lock and hold it together like it should which made the unit flimsy.  Instead of sending it back I purchased wood glue and glued all areas that should have been anchored. To do this I lifted and glued down all very heavy areas and the unit is now solid.  The 2nd flaw I experienced is the shelves above the fireplace when putting it together would not stay in place and fell out.  When this happened it caused a nick in the shelf and I need to have it replaced. Other than that, I love the look of my fireplace and have had it lit everyday.
