The stand itself is actually quite beautiful and sturdy however, the fireplace unit seems to be an after thought. It’s not very secure in there. Slides in and just two tiny brackets on the back “secure” it. It sways and rocks when you turn the unit on because it’s not secured in. Was pretty disappointed it didn’t even come with a remote. I have several electric fireplaces from various companies and brands, and they all came with one. Wish the quality of the fireplace matched the stand.
