My husband and I are very happy with this fireplace. The mantel took about an hour to put together and was straight forward its easy and I could not put 2 screws in because it was drilled incorrectly , but I am glad I purchased it.Furniture seems to be solid and no imperfections. The fireplace has multiple settings and the flame can work without the heater on. Very beautiful, works great! .We are very happy with this purchase and we were very nervous about buying this Incase if the fireplace was not realistic or if the wood mantel was not built well. Larger than most other fireplaces .I love it
