Bought this in the black oak color. I tried to build this by myself and it’s definitely a two person job. The directions could be more clear in distinguishing which side (Painted black vs unfinished wood side) it is referring to. And some of the screws require tightening in very small spaces, which we found to be difficult. The electrical heater adds a nice ambience with the fireplace sitting in the front. (We have yet to use the heat feature). I’m so glad the electrical fireplace insert also came in black so everything matches better, instead of the silver that appears in the photo.
