This fireplace is exactly what we were looking for. The length works great to be able to put our new 65 TV above without it overlapping. The flames change colors and size so you can choose whichever combination you like best. Our living room is fairly large (18x13) and it doesnt really heat it up very much. My husband put it together pretty quickly and was happy with how each piece had directions and an arrow sticker on it (I added a picture of the back). It really was fool proof and everything lined up the way it should. We are very happy with our purchase.
