I wanted a fireplace in my master bedroom for the ambiance.  I have just moved into a new home with an existing fireplace in the family room and after searching  I was delighted to find this one - the detail on it matches the detail  on the existing family room fireplace so when I put this in the bedroom it looked like it had been built into the bedroom.   I was also happy to find it in a pure, white color since all of the woodwork in the home is white.  A lot that I considered were either ivory in color or very plain. This was a "decorative, luxury" purchase rather than a functional one but overall I am happy with it.
