The fort last one of these we received had cam bolts preplaced at the wrong angle in the sides and it was impossible to put together correctly. A second one was sent out to us very quickly. Everything on this one went together smoothly and it took about an hour to build. The glass footed cabinets on the ends are very roomy with 3 different height options for the shelf in them. The fireplace is the big draw though. It has logs and ember stones to place inside of it. It is just 2 simple buttons to operate it. Just fire ambiance and fire with heat. Has an automatic blower for the heat. Cabinet, nor fireplace front get hot to the touch. So very safe for children. Logs and stones are locked in We absolutely love it. This is exactly what we have been looking for in our living room
