Nice addition to my condo.  Looks as good as the picture. It has a real wood veneer. This fireplace comes in three boxes and needs to be assembled.  Not very hard to do.  One of the piece came with a white scratch across the front which was easily covered with a stain pen. The unit makes A rythmatic noise which can be irritating. 

Real wood veneer.
Some scratches on delivery.  Motor is noisy.
