We love our Allsop Mental. It came in time. My son put it together for me with h no problems. It is sturdy. As you can see it fits perfectly where I wanted it. The fireplace is like real. The warm glow in the room is comforting. But the heat is for real. We are enjoying the extra warmth on cooler days with out having to jack up the heat. Im very pleased with my selection. I went to furniture stores, Big Lots, etc. Everything was to low and highly priced. I would recommend this product highly.
