So me and my 15 year old daughter built this and it took about 2.5 hours... wasn’t hard to build.  Just lots of parts.   Definitely need a power drill and patience.   I love it though. It looks really nice.  Doesn’t look cheap... the fire looks nice.   Doesn’t let off ALOT of heat but in a smaller room maybe it’s good.   It’s nice and big. Love the decorating area on it.
