This is a great option for an outside fireplace. The design is very attractive and the price is great.  The fireplace arrived in fairly good shape.  I was a little worried because the box, when delivered, was pretty torn up, but upon opening the box and inspecting the contents the product was in fairly good shape. Only one of the slate tiles had come loose in transport. I’ll probably just mix up some mortar and stick it back in place. It was very easy and straightforward to assemble the unit by myself. It only took me an hour to complete the assembly. I love the fact that it comes with a protective cover for when the fireplace is not in use. I look forward to fun evenings out on the patio in front of this beautiful fireplace.
