The stand itself is great! It looks beautiful, the fire insert is perfect, and it has really become a statement piece in my living room. The only reason for the 1 star deduction is the instructions. There are no words or descriptions and sometimes the pictures are very hard to discern, so it took me a total of 4.5 hours to put together by myself. I would HIGHLY recommend using a power drill to screw in the screws, especially on the back panels. I would definitely recommend!
