The fireplace won’t heat up a big living space but maybe a small room. Have to drill a bigger hole at the back if you want to put any gaming console and/or cable box on the glass shelves. I wouldn’t recommend putting any electronic device(gaming console&cable box) though as it will heat up because of the small space on the shelves. The glass shelves would need to be glued into the piece that holds it in so it won’t get easily come out of place. Also, there are too many remotes to control the 3 different functions(one for the left, right lighting and then for the fireplace). It is nice as a living room centerpiece though.
